Okay, this part "Has any important bugs been fixed in PF on OpenBSD
since the current port in FreeBSD that actually makes the current PF in
FreeBSD "dangerous" to run with?" was actually a really stupid question!

The..

http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/vendor-sys/pf/4.5.002/?view=log

.. shows that the last import was for tag 4.5.002 5 years and 3 month
ago!

Going back to that time in the OpenBSD CVS log and then scrolling up
until present day shows quite a bunch of REALLY important fixes! I am
NOT talking about the changes made by the OpenBSD guys, just bug and
error fixes!

http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/net/pf.c

Problems that can cause kernel crashes, fixes for PF crashing faults,
out-of-memory errors, leak of states, and a whole lot of other
important stuff.

Nobody in their right mind would run the current version of PF on
FreeBSD!

I am sorry, but how can someone be so stupid as to get a whole bunch of
new features into a product that seriously needs upgrading first!?

Whats going on FreeBSD? You used to be all about quality, now you're
all about "bleeding edge features" and don't give a s*** about the rest?

Linux can get away with that crap ONLY because such a huge bunch of
people and organisations are running and supporting it, they have a LOT
of people developing stuff and fixing stuff really quick, FreeBSD
haven't got that user base!

It needs to be about quality over features! Like in the good old 4.x
and 5.x days!
