 I think this should fixed asap or everyone updating
 FreeBSD end up in running insecure jails.
 
 At least there should be a big fat warning in UPDATING.
 
 Better /etc/rc.d/jail should emit a warning.
 
 Best devfs.rules should be loaded as needed.
 This would restore the old behavior an not break POLA.
 
 with regards
