That sounds absolutely sane; exactly the behaviour I'd expect.

The sentence that led me to think otherwise is the second sentence of this
excerpt from jail.8_at_r230776:

    An argument of
    .Dq *
    is a wildcard that will operate on all jails.  To prevent errors,
    this is the only way for
    .Fl r
    to remove all jails.

Thanks,

Daniel

P.S.  What is the timeframe for the jailconf framework to be included in
a release?  9.1, 10.0, ...?
