No problem Max. Btw, I've been using pf on a nat box with a huge conf 
setup little after it was put in -current without a problem... so it has 
to be fairly stable ;-) And I've been using the pf port on production 
boxes for a long time too almost flawlessly. Great work!

I simply want to see in which state CARP is, if it's usable and 
eventually help you to get it perfect for 5.4 ;)

the only pf/altq bug I personally know of is the one recently reported 
on fbsd-current ML.
