With all the talk about swapping IPFW for IPFIL2.8 from Darren Reed, the 
main reason that's come up as to why not, is that IPFW can do accounting.

Perhaps it might be an idea to try and split off the accounting functions 
from the ipfw package, or to make an entirely self-contained accounting 
system.

Then, one could use whatever filtering/firewall system they liked, and 
still have accounting if they need it..

Cheers,
-Peter
