Jails V2, VIMAGE, and integration in the base system

Hello,

I didn't find much about jails v2 + epair + vimage on google; The 
FreeBSD wiki pages concerning this subject seem fairly outdated (that or 
not much has happened in 3 years), and the manpages don't mention much 
about vimage/vnet.

According to http://ivoras.net/freebsd/freebsd8.html it should be in 
FreeBSD 8.0 (VIMAGE, Jails v2), and maybe it is, but if it's not 
integrated in the base system and information/documentarion is scarse, 
few will use it.


Found this: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=142972 - nearly 2 
years old.


My question is, how wise would it be to attempt to use these features in 
production? IMO this is very interesting stuff, having these things 
integrated would be a worthy addition to FreeBSD.
