If I'm understanding, this proposes to separate the instance name
from the hostname, allowing them to be configured independently in
API calls. If so, I agree this sounds like the sanest eventual
behavior, even if getting there will require microversion bumps and
non-backportable improvements. That would allow me to continue
setting whatever instance names make sense for me, and I can still
ignore the metadata's hostname content, but could also even start
using it if it becomes a reliable way to set one across providers
(in the far distant future when they've all upgraded).
