f) IPv6 support?- it seem to be more and more challenged in the current

E.x. Bugs #179392, #172648, #130381, #127920 and more seriously #124933,
which is the bug on not handling IPv6 fragments which have been open
since 2008 and where the workaround is necessity to leave an open hole
in your firewall ruleset to allow all fragments. Occoring to comment in
the bug, this have been long gone in OpenBSD.

The neglect of IPv6 in FreeBSD's pf is a real deal-breaker for us.
Besides the long-standing bugs (like: scrub reassemble tcp
breaks CRC on IPv6), the following stands out:

- last time I looked, neither PF nor IPFW could be used on a
FreeBSD kernel built WITHOUT_INET. This means that features
like ssh-guard and per-application protection on a dedicated
IPv6-only host are not available

- no support for IPv6 prefix translation,
and no stateful NAT64 support


Then, unrelated to IPv6:

- no support for DSCP (the TOS byte includes ECN bits, hard to
filter out)

- the new 'match' mechanism would be really nice to have
