No, systemd does. In git it doesn't, but v195 does read
/etc/sysconfig/network on Fedora if /etc/hostname is no good.
That caused some of the above confusion.

My other problem was that I did not have /etc/hostname available early
enough during boot.

Still can't explain all the behaviour I was seeing, but with that
fixed, things seem to be behaving.

It looks like some NM work may be pending here:

And I filed a bug for the dhclient issue identified by Zbyszek

Thanks
