2.0 is always under develpoment and not yet released. I don't see the

Aren't FreeBSD and NetBSD using the same IPv6 stack from the KAME project?

You can use dummynet with ipfw. Altq is being integrated in the -CURRENT

Yes, but there still some strange report from 'top' on MP systems as in :
 - Problem Report bin/30310 ;
 - Problem Report bin/60385.
