well, i think it's kind of nice. /etc/hosts is for name resolution
and name resolution only. /etc/sysconfig/... is for the init scripts.

/etc/hosts is an easy file to muck up, and if it was authorative
source for IP it would have to be parsed. /etc/sysconfig/... are bash
variable defines and are just sourced.
