While this sed -e 's/93/111/' seems nice, it is really not needed.

People are assumed to be intelligent enough to be able to understand what the command do, and what the small bits mean.

460–466

That is probably the only interesting bit in all these changes. The version passed to -v needs to be head though.

You should probably add to the note that to be able to use the 12-CURRENT jail the host must be running 12-CURRENT.

Sure. While I was looking through the docs, this struck me as old enough to warrant a refresh in order to give the appearance of not being out of date. Stale docs that don't have current version numbers or dates are less trustworthy to newer users.

I agree with @seanc; we can expect users to understand 93 as a placeholder for some version, referencing old versions or dates gives the impression that the document as a whole is might have outdated information.

Revamp changeset to include only the note on older version jails on head.

Apologies, I misread the last comment. Let me see if I can undo my changes.

Put back the origin changes proposed by @seanc.

Only two small nits that I found.

I think there needs to be a comma after "In general".

476

There is a ) missing here.

Excellent, I think this can go in now.
Thank you for working on it.
