No! pf4freebsd will continue to release new versions chaseing
OpenBSD-Current. Work on the altq-freebsd will continue as well.
The new project is mainly a "research project", to see how pf+altq could be
merged into FreeBSD.
FreeBSD schedule mentions a point "KAME Synchronization" without responsible
party yet, so our project might produce valueable input for this. And - if
FreeBSD continues without ALTQ et al - the project brings a complete SMP
kernel with ALTQ and pf which might be of value to some people, we hope.
