IPFW and IP6FW behaviour: Deleting multiple rules with same number

Hi,

I'm using FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE with ipfw and ip6fw.

ipfw and ip6fw have a different behaviour when deleting firewall rules 
that share the same number id:
In ipfw all rules with the same number are deleted upon a delete request.
In ip6fw only one rule, not all, is delete upon a delete request.

Is this the intended behaviour?

Thanks in advance
Martin
