Yes, after some work on the pf sources I realized that doing the
uRPF work in ip_input.c and controlling it for example via sysctl of
some kind would be cleaner - no dependency on packet filtering of any
kind and functionality done once not splattered over few places.

But I asked because my lack of time and experience in coding *BSD.
