That PR is about mounting a fs in a jail, specifically one proved by NFS.
 What does that have to do with the OP's question?  It's quite clear you
didn't read the full thing.

Which is your sole reason for poo=pooing it?  Are you talking about the
arbitrary line between experimental and production?  I wonder how a piece
of functionality transitions from experimental to production...is it
possible we get there by promoting mindshare of the new piece instead of
FUD?
