Yes, we very much prefer 4-STABLE.  Also, even though sometimes it feels 
like we are repeating the wheel in bug-fixing and functionality, it is 
much better to do that, because it lets us gets things done the right 
way and opens us up for new ideas.

Cool! 8-) 8-)

I and Jeroen were planning on doing a lot of cleanup work.  Up to the 
coming December or so, I am going to focus mostly on backporting ideal 
functionality from the three BSDs and Linux; and also bring in bug fixes.

Another thing lined up, and I think also Jeroen is interested in, is 
doign a KAME sync the Right Way(tm).  If you see the way the KAME code 
has been integ'ed in FreeBSD, it is butt-ugly (no offense).  This will 
be a big project to work on, but once it has been achieved, doing syncs 
with KAME will become WAY easier.

Cheers.
