Yes, so that people have a choice.

You would have to take into account "DYING" jails with possibly
duplicate names anyway.

And it's a purely administrative name (cannot be changed from within
the jail) so it's up to the administrator to have 2 "Customer Webserver"
jails or a "Customer Webserver Tin" and a "Customer Webserver Box".

BTW. in case people wonder how to set it (atm.) from rc.conf, you
can use jail_<name>_flags.
