Restarting journald is not a great idea if you can avoid it. At present
it doesn't yet support a full reexec mode which preserves file
descriptors which are connected to it thus some apps may lose their
logging depending on how they are connected to it.

Also I'm not sure what you mean... if I change my hostname, it's
reflected properly in the journal.

Does this not happen on your system? Perhaps some configuration probme
with nss-myhostname (tho' not 100% that matters)?
