Mathieu, thank you for the detailed explanation. Automatic editing of
/etc/hosts always struck me as a dicey proposition, and I'm glad to hear
it got axed.

For those users/admins who do want /etc/hosts to be updated with DHCP
info, it may be worthwhile to provide an example of such a dispatcher.d/
script for them to use as a starting point. It's a lot easier to modify
a well-documented (if technically unsupported) script to one's needs
than to figure out how to write such a script from scratch, and I think
bundling one in would soften the blow of the WONTFIX for those who had
hoped for an alternate outcome.
