I have been developping products based on pf edge cases for 15 years. I don't know which dragons are in our codebase. This should not prevent improvements in OpenBSD. I am just asking not to remove anything just because we currently don't know, how it can be used. Changing syntax like address@interface can easily be adpted. Slight semantic changes may cause debugging sessions on productive customer systems. And then we might need a quick new solution for a previously existing feature. So please be careful. bluhm
