Since we are in -beta you are all starting to test snapshots like
crazy, right? Right?!
Please do me a favor, if you're using pflow(4) test if your favorite
collector works with  pflowproto 10.
Since the time_t cleanup (rev 1.34 of if_pflow.c) v10 no longer sends
insane flows. I know it now works with nfsense.
I'd like to remove v9 for 5.6 and would like to now how big the fallout
is. If you're using v9 and your collector doesn't work with v10
consider prodding your vendor or write patches.

Of course there is a reason for this. In the beginning v9 and v10 were
using the same code paths. It turned out this was no longer possible
after the time_t cleanup. v10 has 64 bit time counters, v9 has
not. So there is a lot of nearly but not quite the same code. I'd like
to get rid of half of it. Also v9 is unfixable post 2038. Since v10 is a
standard and can do at least as much as v9 there is no reason to keep
v9.
Thanks,
Florian
