[pf4freebsd] Maturity of this port?

Howdy,

I'm currently using OpenBSD for altq packet shapers at a few locations; 
the rulesets are reasonably lengthy as we've got many shaped connections 
hanging off it.  It's working reasonably well.

The machines /only/ do altq/pf.  OpenBSD is driving me nuts; it's like 
BSD from 10 years ago.  I'm currently undergoing the pointlessly painful 
experience of manually upgrading a box from 3.3->3.5.  I miss FreeBSD 
userland and associated tools.

Honestly - how mature is this port?  Is it recommended for production 
use?  How feature rich and stable is it compared to the OpenBSD offering 
- any known bugs?  Is this going to be actively maintained for the 
forseeable future?

Thanks,

R
