Is there ever a reason why someone would want their jail environments to be 
built from a different source checkout than the host environment?  It seems 
that "make world DESTDIR=/foo" would be upgrade that jail's userland to 
newer release than their main system, *unless* they had just upgraded their 
host environment, in which case I would think they'd want to use 
the /usr/obj tree they've already compiled instead of building a new one 
for each jail.

Is that right, or are people using their jails in ways that hadn't occurred 
to me?
