My impression is that NPF is vaporware.
If I'm not mistaken, the new PF in OpenBSD 5.5 is also the only open-source
firewall system capable of handling NAT64. I'll tend to favor it just for
that reason.
I won't be doing that work though.

This is a question I'm hearing more and more; NFSv4 should be a priority IMHO.
I had started to put a GSoC proposal online for it on the DragonFly wiki two
years ago but it has since been vandalized.

Look at the end of this page:
