Well, I still see complains about a few quirks in 9 here in the list, 
specially after certain src updates.

Etc ..

To me, something like pf (specially route-to!) is critical and for the moment, 
I wouldn't touch my rock-solid-down-to-the-micro-second perfect production 
firewall 8-STABLE server for nothing, if the aim is such a role.

I think that distribution set size is just not a very strong argument.

OTOH, if the aim is just experimenting, that's another story.
