This is a surprise for me that this feature had been removed!

It used to be in stable/6:

http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/ident?v=FREEBSD60;i=carp_suppress_preempt

And I always treated that variable in CARP as shared with pf. Why did
they removed this feature from pfsync?

P.S. Since PR is about 6.2-RELEASE, then I have closed it correctly.
