No, the point was that matching OpenBSDs pf syntax for the sake of the Google results isn't a valid reason to change it. I'm not saying there aren't any valid reasons, just that useless search results isn't one of them. As for my opinion of the rule format changing, I'm fine with it as long as it happens on a major version release (ie: 11.0) and is documented. If I want to use the old pf, I'll use an old FreeBSD. _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
