No need to flatten the host, I think the behavior is expected in 4.2. The
installation process
was streamlines and there is no need now to create another storage domain
to force the
system to import the hosted engine domain.

Since the hosted engine storage domain cannot be deactivated, using it for
master is good.
it meas you can deactivate any other storage domain if needed.

Maybe the documentation needs update?
