I tried and broke pf for month and my changes have been reverted, this is n=
ot as
simple as it looks like, our code as diverge a lot in some part and we do
support things that openbsd does not (vimage). Sync features requires us to
be very careful, my priorities went elsewhere since that time, so now I will
probably only focus on bringing features I care about, and not the entirely=
 new pf.

So no do not count me as volunteer to maintain pf, I ll probably do some wo=
rk
but not a full sync.
