Description

With deacon gem as foreman core dependency, it is possible to implement naming discovered hosts via deacon's MAC address generator. We could also orchestrate DNS for discovered hosts for easier ssh connections.

This makes a lot of sense because the name stays with server until decommission. It's a feature of deacon gem - same MAC maps to same name.
