I'm not sure which system you're talking about here. We call it IPFILTER in FreeBSD, and it's in the kernel source tree. If the worst comes to the worst, we can move it to the ports, where you would be correct, but I'm personally confident that we'll come to a clarification which will leave it where it is.
