The wording of this note could be improved -- as it is now, it
sounds like a "don't use ipfw2", whereas the fix only affects "limit"
rules, which is a mostly useless feature.

I suggest changing it from

    +  <li><p>A bug in IPFW2 was fixed very late in the release cycle.
    +    Only the most basic ipfw2 features have been tested since the fix.
    +    We are interested in hearing any feedback about IFPW2 in

to

    +  <li><p>A bug affecting IPFW2 "limit" rules was fixed very late in
    +    the release cycle; other ipfw2 features should not be affected.
    +    We are interested in hearing any feedback about IFPW2 in
    +    4.9-RC3.</p></li>

cheers
