Well it's unlikely that we'll switch to using -name over -sname. Using
-sname has its own advantages though as you've found doesn't work in all
cases, so it's likely you'll still have to do some editing, though we
could somehow work it into a config file.

The general fixes that allow you to use an IP address as the nodename,
when using -name will appear in the next stable release. That'll either
be 1.7.1 or 1.8. It's very likely 1.7.1 will happen, but there's a small
chance we'll jump right to 1.8. It depends on when various things get
through QA.
