He said he had "one word" for us and that it was "wait."  I think pf 
(and the results of the hackathon, when they become clear, when 
everything gets adjusted to fit the changes) is going to be a 
blockbuster ....  I heavily suspect pf will become a BSD standard 
elsewhere -- the BSDs that still ship ipf will likely find pf preferable 
in features and performance.  As a user of another BSD as well, I 
certainly hope so!  In the meantime, I need to figure out how to use cvs 
to get the -current OpenBSD so I can play with pf.  :-)

So, yes, maybe he's teasing us, but (1) he prefers to code than to talk 
about coding, and (2) I am certain he wants to dump pf on people in a 
form which blows away former ipf users.  Enjoy the show!
