there's absolutely wrong statement regarding Solaris's zones and FreeBSD's jail in LXC doc:

Thank you, Doug, that is *so* nice that I can't begin to tell you how
much I appreciate it.

Igor, I'm not quite following.  You say the statement "containers are
better compared to zones or jail" is wrong because zones and jails are
very similar to containers.  But those are saying the same thing.

Perhaps rephrasing your objection in the form of a patch would help to
clarify?
