 True.  However, flags set in rc.conf replace the default ones, not
 append to them, so we cut the middleman and patched our rc.d/jail
 locally, to ensure that if the default flags change, we won't miss
 that when we upgrade.
 
 Another reason for just patching rc.d/jail is that we want the -n flag
 for every jail.  (That's also the reason we upstream the change.)

 That's great.  However, if jail.conf is scheduled to appear in 9.2,
 I think the patch still makes sense for 9.1.
