Itojun, I just want to make sure I understand one point.

If you import PF-for-netbsd-current (and updated ALTQ), we will be able 
to use IP-Filter for packet filtering _concurrently_ with PF for 
classifying traffic for ALTQ?

So theoretically all you're really proposing is to replace the existing 
ALTQ classifier with PF?  The fact that PF also happens to be capable of 
filtering packets, not just classifying / tagging, shouldn't really 
matter for that purpose.

As a NetBSD user I would like to see PF brought in with the updated 
ALTQ.  Being able to use IPF-like syntax for ALTQ would be nice.
