If you want to remove something why shouldn't you be able to do it easily? If you want to remove something you can use rm(1) but its much simpler och easier with pkg_delete. And you know what you have and don't have with pkg_info or ls /var/db/pkg/

If I want to use IPFILTER i compile my kernel with IPFILTER, no IPFW here. Why should i then got ipfw-stuff which i dont use in the userland?
