Comment # 6 on bug 1224462 from Richard Brown

of course there's another solution also

Ignition/Combustion

As the Aeon install media fully supports either, all it would take is someone
putting an ignition config in an ignition direction on the ignition partition
of the Aeon Installer USB stick, and they'd also be able to set the hostname

reproducibly even

on every install that uses that stick

and they dont even need to learn ignition or combustion config syntax because
https://opensuse.github.io/fuel-ignition/ can generate that for stuff like
setting the hostname
