You know that, I know that, but devs looking to showcase their nifty idea to
auto-tune their app in a "configuration free" way based on details gleaned from
the environment may not know that.
And as for what happens, I can tell you what happened at one of my previous
jobs when stuff had to change... we had no proper source control available from
which to regenerate a fixed version of code currently in production, so we
added a bunch of aliases in DNS and extra bogus entries in /etc/hosts just to
placate this bit of fun.
Of course, if we didn't get a new server naming standard from every new CIO
upon their promotion, this would have stayed nice and hidden.

But dbname != instance name. What happens if their predictions of global
dominance come true and they find themselves on RAC etc etc. IIRC nid will
change the dbid of the database and/or the dbname.

This just feels like something leading up to some of the 'cute' things
developers can do. Like electing not to add any configuration file
functionality and instead hardcoding the app so that it runs as development if
dbname = X and as production is dbname = Y.
