That sounds absolutely sane; exactly the behaviour I'd expect.
The sentence that led me to think otherwise is the second sentence of this
excerpt from jail.8@r230776:
An argument of
.Dq *
is a wildcard that will operate on all jails. To prevent errors,
this is the only way for
.Fl r
to remove all jails.

Daniel
P.S. What is the timeframe for the jailconf framework to be included in
a release? 9.1, 10.0, ...?
