I imagine they might be fighting words to some ;) As I see it, if you added hooks for divert to ipfilter in FreeBSD and maybe added the rule number bits (I *know* there are going to be people who'd just die without it) then I can't see why you'd need ipfw. I imagine that would be a hell of a lot less work than bringing the features of ipfilter into ipfw. It'd also be one of those steps forward in compatibility between the various BSDs...
