Just what differences there are depends on the FreeBSD release, as
long as we have 6.n with 3.7ish PF an 7.n with 4.1-equivalent PF there
will be a need for some fine distinctions.  Or we could make a
decision to just ignore the older releases (pre-7) like I mostly did
for the book.

I should thinks so.  I'll need to refresh my FreeBSD conventions
neurons to do so, but I imagine that's doable.  Plus of course the
need for some updates will have crept in here and there by now.

Come to think of it with my likely time frame for giving this serious
attention, the 7 vs other releases issue could have resolved itself
already, but I'll try to make time for this as soon as possible.
