This has me a little worried. ipfilter has served me well for a long time and I planned to continue using it. Comments from christos and dholland seem to indicate that only npf has a future. So many questions...
Is ipf going to be removed in a future release? Did npf launch because ipf was abandoned by its author? (or the other way around?) Will npf eventually replicate all the features of ipf and/or pf? My impression of npf is that it scales much better as a firewall, but lacks the NAT and traffic shaping features I use at home. Is this out of date?
