    There have been discussions about how best to consolidate the 
packet
    filters.  I think there is a general trend towards the OpenBSD 
filter
    but it's still an open item.  There's nothing new in 1.0 but I 
expect
    the issue will be resolved in the next few months.
concerning pf:
I talked to Max Laier, but unfortuately he doesn't have any time at the 
moment to port his work to DragonFly. I looked at his changes to the 
original OpenBSD stuff and it doesn't see *that* big. mostly locking 
and zone allocation. although I don't have any experience with these 
things I will try to have a grip on it. I think we don't need as much 
locking as FreeBSD needs when we decide from the beginning to have a 
multithreaded packet filer (as tcp is doing already).
