The obvious solution is to remove that copy, and provide a mechanism for the author-distributed version to neatly integrate. Provided all the correct hooks are in place, all it would take is the build/load of the ipfilter KLD. I can't work out what would make you think that we would abandon the ability to use ipfilter. Do we look suicidally stupid or something? -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
