net.pf.request_maxcount not working after upgrading from 12.1-RELEASE to 12.2 RELEASE.

[Segreteria]

Hi everybody,

I can no longer load pf at boot without workarounds as after upgrade to 
12.2-RELEASE net.pf.request_maxcount=300000 in /boot/loader.conf is not 
loaded before pf starts.

Can somebody explain exactly why is this happening? Is this a new policy 
of this kernel parameter?

What is the suggested way to face this change?

Regards.

Nicola
