It's easier to handle with configuration management if one just has to
ship the same configuration file to all systems.
One could have logic editing an existing config file and taking care
not to change the MY_HOSTID or have a something generate the MY_HOSTID
value (e.g., have the configuration management compute a MY_HOSTID
derived from the machine-id), but having popcon do so itself seems like
a nicer solution.
