Comment # 2 on bug 887039 from Felix Miata

"Fixing" bug 883999 did not affect this problem. Each update of netcfg still
wants to obliterate the HOSTNAME timestamp that in an upgrade installation
should be a hallmark of the original installation. It still eliminates a
hardlink that preserves the timestamp, replacing it with a currently
timestamped symlink. There could be an rpmnew, if the new netcfg package must
leave evidence of its installation. An rpmsave is backwards. If both hostname
and HOSTNAME exist as either hard or soft link, there is nothing netcfg
installation needs to do. An immutable flag on hostname shouldn't prevent
netcfg from installing.
