Correct.
recorder was an alias to localhost which is not correct.
So I added a correct entry for the ip at eth0 with the full name and the
alias.

For only the case of an actually empty LocalHostName.
For one that cannot be bmatched against /etc/hosts or one taht is the
default, whatever that may be at any time, a different error should be
produced.

I doubt that.
Silently interpreting a default string as empty if not logical in any way.
A default name could be interpreted as an unconfigured system, so yell
about that instead.

I am also a user and wondered in the past about priorities within
certain projects. Be it gnome, fedora or mythtv.
basic issues never ever have priority.
New features do have priority.
