I understand maintaing pf in isolation is a burden and it prompted the removal, but there are other projects which also have the port. I think a reasonable course of action would be to maintain a portable pf port as a join effort with NetBSD. To that end you can start with replacing FreeBSD network stack with theirs to increase compatibility. After that it's all smooth sailing. -- Mateusz Guzik <mjguzik gmail.com>
