Ralf,
Although it seems to increase startup speed of applications for a lot of
users, there is the possibility that this change is breaking things
elsewhere. For example, "hostname -f" now reports "localhost" instead of my
hostname (as it did before the change to the hosts files). This needs to be
investigated by someone knowledgeable enough before it's committed.
