The fix in https://github.com/openshift/machine-config-operator/pull/1914 addresses three problems: - race condition between dhclient having 64-characters hostnames that are too long for the cluster - slow transient hostname from reverse DNS - network manager failing to set hostname when the dhcp client name is too long - /etc/hostname have a name longer than 63 characters.
