Excellent! Illumos now has IPFilter support, woo-hoo!!!
It is really encouraging and a boost for the Illumos effort to have Darren Reed maintain IPFilter for it.
One other thing: if you contacted Garrett, you likely received links which document how to become a contributor to the Illumos project. Do you mind sharing those here?
You have had people collaborate on IPFilter with you in the past, one could very well imagine they might want to get their code integrated upstream into Illumos.
