<pre>"systemctl set-hostname" sets all three hostnames by default. If you want to
set only the pretty, or only the transient, or only the static one use switches
like --pretty, --transient, --static. You can even combine them...
"systemctl set-hostname" will set all three names, then detect that there's no
point in keeping the pretty name in place if it is char-for-char identical with
the static one, and simply removes the file since there's nothing else in
there.
So, this is intended operation. And explained in the man page...</pre>
