I believe a timeout of one month before changing the default packet
filter to pf is enough.
If folks want to stick to using ipf by default, they should either
bug Darren to write documentation for this piece of software, or write
it themselves.
Since there is not a single valid reason to keep ipf as the default
in NetBSD, I very (very) strongly suggest we make a switch if by
October 23 there is not up-to-date documentation.
