Well, what I think about this is:
If you can have all the stuff you counted with chroot +systrace + xen + ACL (
did you mean ACLs? "access control policies"), Then it would be great to write
a guide + shell-scripts or something.

So, In my opinion:
"The NetBSD-point-of-view is to provide a general API/facility, that you could 
also use for different things."

Jails *are* cool, I'd love to use this thing on NetBSD.
If I can do all that with chroot +sys....., I am ok with writting a guide +
writting some tools and do that myself, rather then, sorry, mess up the OS,
write programms that just lead to "servers" and sys-admins-needs, and forget
what an unix-OS is... .


Just my 2 cents,
