It would have been more interesting have they released something compatible with Open Container Initiative. Most people use Docker containers and having Docker compatible containers would have helped with improved adoption of BSDs.

No thanks. I prefer my jails just the way they are and think Docker sucks.

		The OCI work mentioned upthread is about interface, not implementation. Most people who think "Docker sucks" are talking about it's somewhat questionable network layer on Linux and the poor security isolation of the daemon. Non-docker alternatives like Podman don't have that characteristic. But no one (at least no one reasonable) thinks Dockerfile's building docker images for download from docker-compatible repositories are a bad thing. That stuff runs the world. And the FreeBSD refusal to make a real attempt at interoperability is a confusing wart on what otherwise is pretty good tech.

OCI is kinda layer above whatever solution is used for separation

I have used jails and I still say it is far easier to maintain, lighter and more secure that what Linux has. The only good thing I can say about docker is it is easier to setup.

Also the way I read the document, NetBSD's Jail is going to be very close to what FreeBSD does.
