  Sorry, I did not offend anybody. Just my opinion about jail is: if user is familiar with FreeBSD structure, Jail, shell-scripting then preferred choice is have own framework.

Dirk, one question. For example, I have multiple services (about 5 or more) which must be isolated. Each services uses www-server or any others dependent software. With ezjail, this software must be in each jail. What about updating this software? What about updating whole jail when base system was updated (mergemaster, etc)?
