Comment 14 for bug 628087

I think there are two separate issues:

 1. we need an effective way to rename a machine post-install.
 2. we need to take a view on how important it is to expose the name during install, and how visible to make the option to change it.

If name conflicts are a problem, then [1] is just as important as [2], since we can't put all our eggs in the basket of "getting it right at install time".

I'm subscribing Michael Forrest, who's the designer responsible, for comment on the rationale for having dropped it.
