In my case i have a build system for about 20+ hosts for deploy, OS
rebuilding, kernels, patches, ports ...
I also have other patches that are applied to the source, for example
modified periodic scripts ... (take a look how many good patches sleep
years as PR).

The real question about this patch is.
 Why should i allow a user to change the Jail hostname for default?

Try to kill a process in a jail from the base system after the hostname
is changed from inside the jail.
