I assume we'd want to use a wordlist without profanity?
There are also only 72945 words without punctuation in that list, but
MAAS has bigger ambitions! :)
To solve both these problems we could select, say, 500 words that are
safe and memorable along with a numeric suffix.
Another option is to use subdomains for clusters. Clusters are only
meant to contain a few hundred machines, so a 500-long word list would
probably suffice if it were combined with a subdomain (selected from
another word list?).
