You mean having `hostname' return just the host name rather than FQDN?
That might be broken, depending on who you ask, but it is so common
that it has to be dealt with if you don't want your software to be
broken almost everywhere.
On the other hand, I've never seen a host with the `hostname' that
contains a dot, and which wasn't FQDN. Not one that would call itself
properly configured, anyway.
