Zones from Solaris is a nice name.

NetBSD's jail feature is based on kauth, a decent designed capabilities system, informed by an Apple technical paper. Having jails backed by kauth puts NetBSD's well above FreeBSD's, if NetBSD can reach feature parity. The earlier implementation struggled with a networking feature that NetBSD did not have.

Also, this work is made with AI:

"For context: this is my first serious work inside the NetBSD kernel. I am not an experienced NetBSD kernel developer. To better understand complex code paths and trade-offs, I use AI-based tools for analysis and occasionally for draft implementations. However, everything that goes into my working tree is manually reviewed, adjusted, or discarded by me. I only integrate changes that I believe are technically sound and that I can explain and defend, and I am working towards a clean and auditable tree structure."

More like assisted with AI, in a way that seems perfectly reasonable.
