  I agree 100%.  At work, we implemented the enc interface for FreeBSD
4.7 and 4.10 along with extending the divert interface such that we
could perform filtering and NAT on packets after tunnel decapsulation.
Just because one person doesn't have a use for the enc interface, does
not mean that no one does.
