Comment 12 for bug 628087

I doubt that adding more use cases to this thread will matter much, but I must mention that this bug coupled with the inability to easily change host names creates problems for those of us attempting to use Ubuntu in a more corporate environment. We set up Ubuntu to authenticate against our Active Directory systems and it has been standard procedures to make the default user the same across all installs (and later wipe it out when AD is up and running). This means that all of these machines will have the same name on the network which makes managing them complicated.
I have no problem with this being pushed to some 'Advanced' tab, but I believe this bug needs to be bumped up from a 'low' importance and would very much appreciate having it addressed before 11.04.
