Just a note that I'd really like it for a 6.4-RELEASE to be made
available if possible. I still have some hosts on 6-STABLE for a variety
of reasons (including one very nasty problem with 7-STABLE, pf, and
IPSec with NAT traversal that I'm trying to troubleshoot in preparation
for a possible PR, once I find out exactly where the problem is).


Thanks,
Proto
