We run a busy pf based router @work, and it generally "just works" 
where ipf(4) broke - has 
<http://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=27164> ever 
been fixed?

And npf(4) - no offense meant to its authors - is neither stable nor 
feature complete at this point - watch the steady trickle of PRs 
against it.

Maybe drop it after NetBSD 10?  ;)
