Max & all,

I don't suspect my request has been unclear, as it's written 3 times
within one posting. After getting no response (from anyone) for more
than a week, I don't think it makes sense to me to wait any longer and
hope or pray for a hint.

Max, you may safely drop uid/gid support from pf as I'm unable to test
your patches and it seems like I'm the only one who cares. On the
other side, the next time a message like 'if nobody tests patches...'
pops up, I'll be the first one to contradict (no Max, this is not
against you).

Probably I should give the same level of support to others as it's
been given to me (sad to say, which will then be zero).
