No, that's not the usual way of configuring the machine. Some software
may break. FYI, the hostname(1) man page says:

  /etc/hostname Historically this file was supposed to only contain the
  hostname  and  not the full canonical FQDN. Nowadays most software is
  able to cope with a full FQDN here. This file is read at boot time by
  the system initialization scripts to set the hostname.
