Just to be sure I've understood correctly: You plan to make a separate 
filesystem as jail's root a requirement but only in the case of using 
mountd(8) in the jail? Or in general?

While I think doing so in the NFSv4/mountd case is indeed a good idea, I don't 
think enforcing it in general is. It would generally degrade the multiple 
jails management experience on UFS (in the absence of a volume manager), where 
all jails have roots in the same filesystem (to avoid allocating/deallocating 
space as jails come and go or must be resized).

Regards.
