I'm sorry you cannot seem to follow what I thought was very detailed
reasoning I gave for why OBJHOSTNAME (and OBJMACHINE) are totally
unnecessary.  I do not know how I might express it in any better way for
you to understand more easily.

I certainly will not be wasting my time on a formal PR until we can come
to a more common understanding of the issues and requirements here in
tech-pkg.

Ah, well that helps a bit at least -- meaning I won't have to rip it out
in my local copy to maintain current performance levels.  Thanks for the
clarification.

"A more suitable form" than tech-pkg?  Hmmm.....

Hmmmm..... I saw no examples, concrete or otherwise, in your reply.
Does this mean you do agree with me?  :-)
