Indeed.

May be an OK outcome, actually. The two will continue to diverge. People who 
want the PF from OpenBSD can just find (pay?) someone to bring it in, maybe 
call it opf. The hooks are all there. 

Not saying if the 'o' stands for open or old. 

Not sure that "pf" deserves a title of "the best", either.  It's pretty hacky 
in places.  It's got more knobs than The Citadel at matriculation. 

It's definitely got a huge architecture problem (or two).  

"Last match wins"... Who does that?   People who "code" before they think, 
that's who.  Even the OpenBSD people admit this was a mistake. 

IMO, PF (and CARP/pfsync) have run their course.  Time for something better.
