Support DHCP in rc.firewall by default?

Right now, rc.firewall isn't set up to support DHCP configurations although
it could easily be done so. Googling comes up with many references, for
example http://www.freebsddiary.org/firewall.php (section "ipfw with DHCP
etc" at the bottom of the page).

Are there any reasons against having rc.firewall contain such lines? I
reckon it would even come in handy for statically configured users: they'd
only need to specify their network interface(s) once.
