So it is right to say that the custom kernel "problem" applies only when 
upgrading to a newer release?

All I have to do is 'freebsd-update fetch install' to update the base 
system then 'freebsd-update -b /usr/jail/jail_name fetch install' to 
update the jails?

I hope so because it would be very impressing :)
