Jail Documentation in FreeBSD Handbook section 14.4.3

I noticed that the Jail Documentation in section 14.4.3, "Keeping Jails
Patched and up to Date", while it covers security patches, doesn't cover
major and minor version upgrades.  Seems to me there should be a section
here, or near here, on what to do to update any jails you may have after
you've updated the host operating system version, and it should be linked
to from chapter 23 "Updating and Upgrading FreeBSD".

I see there's already a request in the bug tracker to rewrite section 14.3,
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=226282

and it looks like the resource referenced there,
https://wiki.freebsd.org/VladimirKrstulja/Guides/Jails , also has some
information on upgrading a jail, in section 5.2, by using the
--currently-running flag to freebsd-update.

Would it be reasonable for me to submit a bug for this, or is there a
better way to go forward?
