Don't forget that there is an ongoing project called jail-ng, which wants
to improve (or rewrite) the jail code in FreeBSD.
That is because that jail implementation is basically a "quick hack" and
should be implemented more thoroughly (just think about the IPv6 support,
the jail-naming, managing issues).

But I think (for replying to a previous post) the jail isn't just a
security feature. It seems to me that the original jail idea was to
provide virtual machines for customers on a large machine, not provide
ultimate high security.
