I _had_ a virtualized version that become obsolete with the import of 
then new PF version around May 2007...  Given that virtualizing PF 
isn't quite a trivial task, I was reluctant to spent another full week 
or so on crunching the current version of PF that we have in the tree, 
just to see it becoming obsolete again and again.

Great!  So from my perspective by all means pls. go ahead and proceed 
with merging the latest PF to head, and by the time that will be done, 
we'll also have more than enough of virtualization infrastructure in 
the tree to justify another round of PF virtualization game.  

Of course we should start thinking on what tricks would be best suited 
for PF virtualization while still permitting code syncing with OpenBSD.
