Yes. Sometimes I have a feeling that jails or some other features are unwanted children. I had PR opened for years with patche to rc.d/jail or etc/rc.subr to incorporate nice, or cpuset. And it never found it's way to the tree. In the time of my maintaining of Jails wiki page I tried to convince developers to write about their work in progress publicly in this list. But it never happend. It was almost everytime "quite hidden work and then commit". As a result we have many features in the base system, but no way to use them all together just with base startup scripts and tools. That's why we need 3rd party tools like iocage, cbsd, ezjail etc. to fix this gap. Miroslav Lachman
