Well, that's pretty clear :)!

OK, I think I had enabled both options because some servers needed
hostname and some servers needed fqdn. I wonder if there is a way to
only provide one option depending on which server the dhcpcd client is
talking too (I think you answered this below)? If not, I'll need to
work with the servers that only understand hostname to see if they can
be configured/upgraded to understand the newer fqdn option.

With a 4-way handshake we could do it based on the OFFER, but rebooting AND rapid-commit are a 2-way handshake, so no dice - has to be client side decision.
