            Bug ID: 233310
           Summary: jail.conf system should be modularized to conf.d
                    approach
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: rocky at herveybayaustralia.com.au

The jail.conf system seems to be rather useful in and of itself, but given the
approach of docker, xorg, openldap, and such, shouldn't this be easier to drop
and replace config like in the conf.d format rather than appending the one conf
file? I believe even rc has this approach available using rc.conf.d system.

This would make much more sense given that jails are individual objects in the
system. Individual conf files allow quicker deployment, copy and modify, and
updates to the individual jail rather than the whole conf file - especially by
automation tools, where it is likely you'd want better protection to individual
jails rather than bork the lot if something goes sideways if the one conf file
is modified.
