Correct. The impact would be severe. The most important question of the conversation was: Why did nginx not accept a diff to add chroot to mainline? All of you, feel free to ask their developers. Yeah, I know this will come off as political. But this is a significant and intentional oversight in their software. Like removing syslog support. Perhaps if you want chroot, you have to pay extra?
