nfsuserd in a jail

Greetings.

There is a 'fixed' bug [1] referring to problems that nfsuserd has, when 
working in a jail.

This appears to explain a problem I'm having getting nfsuserd running 
within a jail on a 12.0-RELEASE machine (which I'm aware is now EoL, 
since we're beyond 12.1-RELEASE + 3 months).

The BUGS section in the nfsuserd manpage does mention this bug, which 
(based on the last few comments in that ticket) confirms that the fix 
isn't present in the version I'm running.

The last comment (dated 2019-04-21) mentions

Flags: mfc-stable12? → mfc-stable12+
Flags: mfc-stable11? → mfc-stable11+
Flags: mfc-stable10? → mfc-stable10+

Could someone expand on the status of this for me?  Does this mean that 
these fixes _are_ in 12.1 (so that nfsuserd should work on that)?  If 
so, how could I work that out for myself?

(I've been putting off updating that machine, but this may promote the 
task to not-optional).

Best wishes,

Norman
