I tend to agree with itojun. Although I understand FreeBSD guys want to make code from KAME cleaner in terms of FreeBSD's own point of view, it will make future merge from KAME to FreeBSD harder. This is a trade-off issue, but at this moment, I think we'll still need further merge from KAME to FreeBSD, so I'd prefer keeping the code "as is" for a while.
