For real, I find it so odd to tack on "written in Rust" to every new project that's announced that uses Rust. (As someone who uses Rust in their day job)

Not really though I think there are some half-baked projects that aimed to do that. You can get somewhat close by doing a `zfs send` to a file. You still need the jail configuration though (I suppose you could put that _into_ the filesystem
