tech@ is more for diffs or technical questions rather than not-fleshed-out quick ideas. Doing this would solve some problems with the "just change it to 64-bit" mooted on the freebsd-pf list (not least with 32-bit archs), but would still need finding all the places where the bandwidth values are used and making sure they're updated to cope. -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
