And I really appreciate your work! I wasn't aware of the fact that user/group rules have been discussed in detail (I must have missed that topic somehow or it hasn't happened in pf@). To your question, I do care about that topic, I'm able to to beta tests and check things out. Also I do have the machines to check things in a safe environment, if needed. If you have something to checkout, I will be happy to check it out and feed back to you (if you're talking to me... again, I haven't received any responses for weeks from you). If you still care about user/group based rules, keep me up to date (I'm not on current@) and I'll beta test for you and give you any needed feed back. >From my view, the response issue can somewhat been seen as the core team sitting on an island and the user base is far, far away of them.
