A major FreeBSD version increment is allowed to break that level of = backwards compatibility. Nothing prevents this from being incorporated = into 11.x. The only real concern would be removing existing core functionality as = part of the update. For that you want to provide at least one major = release cycle for people up migrate. Comparing pf on my current OpenBSD = machines vs. the FreeBSD 10.x pf, that doesn't seem to be an issue. --lyndon --Apple-Mail=_4B12DBBC-CA02-4A2A-B034-04B4192E48D3 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Message signed with OpenPGP using GPGMail -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTzDdVAAoJEG8PnXiV/JnUP7wP/iaHgRf29cfR4bHHATs4HR8J WW2BSKp4/SyoA7oMYvOnN8QF/IA3x30NRI93VBtxwUZbFbEETvKtb/Y2/E0kZVB4 UcC8PyZ8lr+kQQY+1voAAp6dvI0Fm6KEojitYEuPo6GXSjyhYJcz+3TlfBjFZT8r qP6XQJD4gb3tXlfdO9Qzcvyvaa2YCCF9qp8SmeM4ynYhTr0G0geT2rKnegm8hvXw 2JglUiisAIregxf6gnabxKoPj0pNiWCnTkKJxWUeA45j4Gz123Q7fnd0YTUl3L3w tMQg+Dt0U3cq9+ACr0Hpw5rRjtgEnkXZdvgK8fCx88wdts0VRJUdkP9JX0bi5SpV X5Tr5EC8QalkWDsZRc/lWwL/xH21F/heifqbasgpVyzcIARxCKqZuMbQaMwICZd3 wGIlt5GV4kjdOGLeqFxM7A7m/qinmhDBVfi3yhqVfOdfCYuDF4fcQ6QhhI9YZm9R KmJsaejKguBFOTjQu3sVopmBlxXTvS8I+TV44ih1zKZ7kNX8zKJSAO2JYwxVi0jD ZIafvDBTNZOrtz6QGGJh0f1SmplfajapYYlg6wPXjqhdeRLzGZH0/EfBFdFofuKe 38DC4aoUkyO7reeLECL6U1HvCLoGUmLqIt+uQviaxIkcNTxUZjaBQ0Zjz+0SwC1d eETuZZRLPOQTsZW0Fb8s =Wq6E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail=_4B12DBBC-CA02-4A2A-B034-04B4192E48D3--
