That isn't entirely true. As long as the first entry on the line is "localhost", everything will still work as expected. On any mobile machine I have that may or may not have real (or RFC private) addresses to use at any given time I put an entry for the name of the machine on the localhost line so it can resolve it's own name when not connected. I also dislike fully qualified node names, so just use the short form. On a laptop that may connect to someone's internal RFC private network and use DHCP you can't rely on any address space being legitimate for a "private" interface or name on a mobile machine.
