The FreeBSD Foundation is promoting boot environments, a feature built on the ZFS file system, as a way to avoid being locked out of a system after a failed upgrade.

The Foundation released a video explaining how the feature makes upgrades and routine maintenance easier to manage, drawing attention from the FreeBSD community.
