That's not quite the point. The original issue is whether you want to
start using time.inode.hostname in this day and age. The original
answer was no, because you will collide with time.pid.hostname. WV
dismisses this, claiming that nobody's using time.pid.hostname. Well,
that's clearly not true. Plenty of stuff uses time.pid.hostname.
This isn't the first time WV changed Postfix in a way that broke stuff
that worked before.
The patch he issues was clearly and unmistakably marked as "tentative"
and inofficial, the final code is not yet released. It's a bit too early
to claim "Wietse broke things that used to work." -- the Postfix
releases are still at time.pid.hostname, which, as we know now, is lacking.
