Hi, I wasn't sure if responding is a good idea but basically ridentifier and the 3-labels extension added to pf from the pfSense area are more or less unnecessary cruft and easily worked around the kernel: use the label as a unique identifier and do the rest in userspace... I'm sure not a lot of people care for the state that Netgate puts FreeBSD in (again and again) but for the sake of ABI stability alone it would be nicer to avoid such work in stable areas. Thanks, Franco
