  Yes I do, but still in my configs I may need much more than just one 
program running in my jails, so I prefer the almost-full-OS option. 
Moreover, I find it also easier to maintain and troubleshoot, no matter 
how peculiar this may sound, since I don't have to chose only the files 
needed in each jail when I upgrade them, and I am able to run terminals 
in the jail, along with other which makes troubleshooting the jail easier.

Of course, this is just my opinion and I think it is more of a matter of 
"taste" on how someone would want to setup their jails.

Thank you for your answer.
