--- Comment #24 from Jamie Gritton <jamie@FreeBSD.org> ---
The easiest "fix" is certainly to remove the warning that the old method is
going away.  I wouldn't quite call it "mistaken", but I'll (almost) agree
there's no overriding need to take the bits out of rc.d/jail that translate=
 the
old shell variables.

Almost, because there are some confusing multiple paths on the kernel side =
that
I'd would like to have deprecated, namely the security.jail.xxx_allowed and
similar sysctls that used to be the only way to (globally) affect a lot of =
jail
behavior, and are replaced by per-jail parameters but still live on as defa=
ult
values.  But I can't get rid of those because they're part of the old
shell-based setup.

I remember some talk in the last year or two about a config file library th=
at
would allow (among other things) those DOS-like files that shell scripts se=
em
to like.  What's the latest on that?  Jail.conf in particular had some stic=
king
points as I recall.

Something like that could be enough for ezjail, though I also wouldn't mind=
 of
ezjail just started using the current jail.conf format.  Yes, it's harder f=
or a
shell script to use generally, but it would be possible to keep track of a
shell-machine-readable version with a "hands off" comment at the top of it.
