We shouldn't make people install net-tools if the goal all along has been to move away from it. My vote is to split off the hostname binary from inetutils, which is just as full featured as hostname from net-tools.
All this seems like complete overkill. Why don't we just make people install inetutils?
There are more tools from net-tools with no good replacement, like netstat.
I guess we could add inetutils to base, and remove whatever binaries it provides from net-tools. Do we know that this would not lead to any regressions? Cheers, Tom
