In http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2019/03/29/msg024883.html there is a claim that “there have been reports that FreeBSD is also considering dropping PF”
I havent been able to unearth such claims, there are plenty of threads stating that whilst pf hasnt been merged from openbsd upstream, the freebsd people are maintaining it as their own fork.
Given that FreeBSD’s tide is rising on pfSense and OPNsense, it would likely be problematic to remove pf without providing a feature equivalent alternative.
Perhaps someone can share a link to discussion on FreeBSD lists about removing pf?
