 This is by design. Queueing, Translation, and Packet Filtering are
 seperate functions in PF, and they can be manipulated independantly of
 each other. Flushing the queueing configuration should not leave the
 filtering rules in an undetermined state, nor should filtering rules
 that reference a queue that may not have been created yet. If you are
 experiencing problems with queueing, it is certainly advantageous to
 be able to disable it entirely by "pfctl -F queue" rather than having
 to rewrite the entire ruleset and remove all references to queues.
 
 PF also allows rules to specify non-existant interfaces, so that
 hotplugging does not require reloading the ruleset.
