as a matter of fact, this is a good motivation to update the jail.conf examples as well.

Any suggestion? It seems this already in the EXAMPLES section?

The EXAMPLES section in the manual pages are actually pretty good, but I was thinking about the examples in the examples directory: /usr/share/examples/jails || https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/share/examples/jails

Since 14.0, multiple features have been added which are under demonstrated. We should also update the README and remove the VIMAGE file (has been merged into GENERIC since 11.0).

Thank you for this little change, it's a good motivation to move other low hanging fruits as well.
