FreeBSD has supported containers since the 90s.

It would, however, be immensely useful to complete the work to run containerd with OCI images on top of jails, to the point that it's just a `pkg install`.
Agree
And it has 5-6 different ways for managing jails, some of them abandoned, others peculiar, and some recently degrading in quality.
As opposed to, say, Linux, which only has LXC, docker, podman, singularity, openvz, and the others I've forgotten.
There are 100s of ways of managing anything, what’s your point here?

I find using FreeBSD jails to be extremely straightforward.
