Thanx,
1st the above links do not reveal anything new.
2nd, judging by the wiki : https://wiki.freebsd.org/Jails ,
jailified SysV IPC (or SysV IPC-ified jails) (the specific territory where pgsql comes in contact with jails)
are in stalled state.

Latest work i recall was for this docs.freevps.com/doku.php?id=freebsd:changelog project
and i remember that getting this through was something not easy to do.

That's why i asked about any milestones in FreeBSD jail implementation.
It just does not seem normal, all of a sudden for pgsql to work that nice in FreeBSD jails,
there have been also some rather "warm" discussions here in these very lists.
