I think you well deserve a break after all that effort. I look forward

[I waded into the pf code last week, to write a patch to allow IP Router 
Alert out by default -- as it breaks IGMP/MLD and thus link-scope/all 
multicasting.
It looks like it wouldn't be too difficult for someone to add a "setfib" 
tag, however, this can break backwards compatibility with pfsync'ed 
nodes if pfstate/pfrule are changed.]

Thanks also to them for making this possible.
