[DISCUSS] Auto-generated base files?
Metadata
Current evaluation
Design discussion on generating missing base files such as /etc/hosts, with opt-out support; templating was proposed, but behavior and interface remain undecided.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The maintainer explicitly opened this as a design discussion, and the sole follow-up only proposes user-populated templates without deciding defaults, opt-out behavior, or precedence. Repository search found no implementation for /etc/hosts or general base-file generation, so the proposal remains unresolved and should stay open for maintainer decision.

Issue body
While many of the files we're currently including in images will likely be handled by the ability to compose images, do we want to generate default versions of certain files (e.g. `/etc/hosts`) if the file isn't included in the image at all? If so, do we want to make a way to opt out of this?
