1. It's clean design because we removed lots of reduntant code pfaltq 
for example...
2. we introduced latest ALTQ from kame altq 0.4.2 was based on altq 
shipped with altq-freebsd-release-5.0
3. the versions are PF 1.61 + latest fixes in CVS (upcoming 1.62) + 
latest ALTQ from kame
4. adding pf+altq to the basesystem ist much easier... hopefully
