I'd like to import a couple of features on a per-feature base rather than doing a complete import which isn't possible anymore due to SMP and routing code changes. Submit your list of features and I'll see what I can do this weekend. My list includes: - keep state and flags S/SA to default - improved state table purgeing (this is internal, but a huge benefit) - interface handling (groups etc.) - pfsync / pflog update (not 100% sure about these due to libpcap / tcpdump dependency) While at it, I might also introduce needed ABI breakage for netgraph interaction.
