The only reason I still use PF is because it was what was recommended 
for integration with ALTQ. As far as I can tell, altqd only supports 
very simple configurations--you can only classify packets based on 
src/dest addresses and protocol. I don't think you can use altqd to 
prioritize TCP ACKs, for example (which helps greatly when on 
asymmetric connections). And unless things have changed, npf doesn't 
let you assign packets to ALTQ queues. Are there any plans for that?
