That is a good point and it does seem an overkill if you think not much 
has changed in the jail to warrant it. It doesn't do it every time, only 
when they increment the osrel number.

There is a way around it. I sometimes run this script which updates the 
jail to be the same as my host.

#/bin/sh

V1=`uname -r`
V2=`sysctl -n kern.osreldate`
JV=`find /var/poudriere/data/packages/ -depth 2 -name .jailversion`

echo "${V1} ${V2}" > ${JV}
echo "${JV} set to ${V1} ${V2}"
