As I've said - if someone wants to port the updated pf to freebsd-head and go through the process of owning it, then please, do the work. Noone is going to stop you doing that. The kernel is in a much better state now for maintaining multiple packet filters and it's entirely possible to run this as a project where you build it and the tools as an external module that'll compile for both freebsd-head and freebsd-10. You don't have to have a debate bout it. Just do it. :) -a
