State-Changed-When: Mon Apr 23 03:03:28 UTC 2012 
State-Changed-Why:  
The problem is that the upstream changes seriously break backwards 
compatibility.  My understanding is that for now we are staying with 
the existing version so as not to create a problem for our users, via 
POLA.  I don't know if this decision will be revisited for 10.0. 

In any case, 8.3 is already released, so the first part of this PR 
is moot.

State-Changed-Why:  
We no longer plan to do bulk imports from OpenBSD. 

If you want any featues from there, you can work on 
carefully porting them to FreeBSD and then code can 
be included into FreeBSD. 

The previous comment from linimon@ on this PR 
makes sense. We don't want to break rules syntax 
in FreeBSD.

 For the archive;
 
 This thread really explains in detail what is happening with PF and why the
 Openbsd
 version is no longer being ported to FreeBSD.
 
 IE: Flame between original porter of OpenBSD PF version 4.5 and
 the author of the new rewritten FreeBSD version of PF.
