Then my question to you is this .... why haven't
they been implemented?

You've / we've all spent a lot of time on the
product to make it ( and I quote) a business class
product which "provides all the important features
of commercial firewall boxes" (BTW, it IS a great
product, just be open to suggestions for
improvments).  I think not, as most of the
commercial products out there, [Cisco, NetScreen,
CheckPoint] to name a few, support most if not all
of the features I mentioned below, before getting
flamed as a FUD writer (look in the mirror before
pitching stones, and do so real research on
something other than BSD).  I'm not sure what FUD
means, but I can make an educated guess, and I'm
not sure that there needs to be this level of
inappropriate and offensive
communications/responses, especially from a member
of the core dev team (certainly not very
professional).

In short ... take of your BSD blinders and look
around before accusing someone of NOT doing their
research, certainly when someone make a concerted
effort to apologize for the noise ... then you
still feel the need to flame.

BOOOOO .... BTW Google is a great tool!!!!!
