- user3939382 5y agoThey made breaking changes as recently as 6.9 (May 2021). Major breaking changes go farther back, but the threat of new breaking changes is ever present since this is, as another commenter mentioned, just the philosophy of the project. That makes it unusable for me in anything beyond a home lab, but others may have different scenarios.
- scns 5y agoIt makes me pretty sad to read this. I always liked their no compromise approach with regards to security. Seems they took Haskells' "Avoid success at any cost" literally.
- protomyth 5y agoThe release notes describe the change and you have a full six months of supported security patches to make the change given their support / release schedule. If you aren't looking at your pf.conf every six months, I would be concerned.
