OK, I see. Thanks for clarifying a bit. If I understood clearly what
you mean, e.g. seeing amnesia@amnesia helps me remember I'm currently
running Tails, and not some other random system. I acknowledge this
is useful.
I think there are many other visual hints that will be enough even
once we've replaced amnesia@amnesia with user@host, so I don't think
it's a big deal.

Fair enough, your choice obviously.
As far as Tails is concerned, the significant reason I provided on
February 1st was basically: let's admit we make mistakes sometimes, so
better safe than sorry. Then, my proposal still holds.
Cheers,
