At FOSDEM, there was some brief discussion about unifying the various firewall implementations we have, by providing a common bytecode format that all sets of firewall rules can be compiled to and (eventually) providing an LLVM-based JIT for this bytecode.  

If we're about to irreparably fork pf, perhaps now would be the correct time to have the discussion about exactly what is required.
