My impression is that NPF is vaporware. If I'm not mistaken, the new PF in OpenBSD 5.5 is also the only open-source firewall system capable of handling NAT64. I'll tend to favor it just for that reason. I won't be doing that work though. > >> 4.

This is a question I'm hearing more and more; NFSv4 should be a priority IMHO. I had started to put a GSoC proposal online for it on the DragonFly wiki two years ago but it has since been vandalized. Look at the end of this page: http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/ikiwiki.git/blob/d8f691bbdab4cabee9d88e2c2853b9f6242cb30e:/docs/developer/gsocprojectspage/index.mdwn -- Francois Tigeot
