The FreeBSD platform was merged into the OCI runtime spec!

FreeBSD is now an official target for OCI containers (it’s been working in Podman as an unofficial target for a while).

Add FreeBSD as a platform by dfr · Pull Request #1286 · opencontainers/runtime-spec

This uses FreeBSD jails to implement container isolation.

@gogo @david_chisnall The process didn't feel rushed - the code review took the best part of six months and before that there was about a year of work on the proposal in our working group. I do accept that there were open questions when the proposal was merged and I would have preferred to address them before rather than after the merge.
