it modifies /etc/hostname for you, but doesn’t seem to touch /etc/hosts
i still prefer hostnamectl, but i’m now unsure of what benefit it offers over editing /etc/hostname directly

/etc/hosts is not where the hostname is configured
/etc/hostname for the actual hostname, and a mapping in /etc/hosts pointing it at a 127.x.x.x address

goes for any interpretted language where dependencies inevitably creep into the global namespace via distribution packagers that should know better :P
