Me personally? Because I want to avoid any complications with
configuring two cooperating routers; because I want to be able to spot
"foreign" interfaces by IP# (my brain doesn't work with either UUIDs
or MACs); because I want to be able to poke a hole into my network,
which raises security concerns; because I want to recognise that
two IP#s point to the same machine (MACs again); because knowing
how it all works is more valuable to me than the effort of lifting
a finger to maintain it once in a while.

Bear in mind that I'm likely installing Debian on something at
the time I'm making said tweak, and perhaps having to relocate
some functionailty to another machine if there's one heading for
recycling at the same time. With running the d-i and configuring
the router, what's to get worked up about with adding a line to
/etc/hosts?

I've worked this way for 15 years and, unlike Gene, I'm not having
to fight any battles over it. I'm sure mDNS is perfect for people
with different demands from mine.

Cheers,
David.
