Linux/Unix - /etc/sudoers - host definition

Here are some things I can think of:-

You deploy sudoers via a central source using some configuration management system.
The file exists on an NFS share mounted by multiple hosts.
A particular system uses many UTS namespaces (different containers have different hostnames)
You may intend a particular set of permissions on a particular hostname (which represents a role of a system such as a webserver). But you later change the hostname as it changes roles, this removes sudo capabilities for users with a hostname listed.
