[arch-general] On deprecation of net-tools

[Magnus Therning]

With the recent deprecation of net-tools I did notice some changes:

- The binary 'hostname' now accepts remarkably few options,
  specifically 'hostname -d' no longer works.
- The command 'dnsdomainname' disappeared.  (I'm not really sure why I
  ended up using it though, since 'hostname -d' would have worked just
  as well.)

I have read FS#24647 already, so I'm aware that some of this is being
worked on.  What I'm wondering is, what can I do in the meantime to
get 'hostname -d' back?

Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with
millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural
integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves.
