I agree NPF seems very promising; howewer it has no support for IPv6
yet.
This is a really big show-stopper: we're only weeks (days ?) from
depletion of the central IPv4 pool, and after that APNIC and RIPE pools
will almost certainly not last until the end of the year.

Without IPv6 support, NPF would be almost useless.
