It's easier (but still very hard) to do incremental updates of PF,
than to jump to the most recent version of it. Besides, just think of
it. OpenBSD developers themselves, went through all the intermediate
versions before landing in 4.8.

I also grab the chance to thank Jan Lentfer in public, for his
dedication and hard efforts that yielded excellent results.
