It actually makes everything easier.  At present, I'm just using it for
a single jail.  Also as either the web page or man page says, it makes
updating jails easy enough so that you'll actually do it.  (I confess I
was often lax about updating the jail when updating the system).

Again, I don't know how much of a time saver it would be, and my reply
here has sort of wandered off-topic.  :)

Spike: We like to talk big... vampires do. 'I'm going to destroy 
the world.' That's just tough-guy talk. Strutting around with 
your friends over a pint of blood. The truth is, I _like_ this 
world. You've got...dog racing, Manchester United. And you've 
got people. Billions of people walking around like Happy Meals 
with legs. It's all right here. But then someone comes along 
with a vision. With a real... passion for destruction. Angel 
could pull it off. Good-bye, Picadilly. Farewell, 
Leicester-bloody-Square.
