I would also like to see an announcement about ipfilter deprication in S11 yet.

"The IPFilter firewall will not be available in a future release. In future
releases of Oracle Solaris OS, the OpenBSD Packet Filter (PF) will be
available as the firewall. PF will be available in the pkg:/network/firewall
package.
If you upgrade your Oracle Solaris 11.x OS to newer versions, the upgrade
process is facilitated by the ipf2pf (pkg:/network/ipf2pf) package. This
package installs the tools that will assist you in the migration of IPFilter
configuration to PF.
Note: Manual intervention will be required to ensure PF rules implement the
desired network policy."
Thanks much Alanc. Was looking for something like that page.
Does that mean that might happen inside 11.x as i see it mentions , so inside
S11 lifetime in one of the updates.
As interesting as it is, it would surely need a separate project at illumos and
see no direct connection with illumos implementing it except, it is nice to have
it.
The page doesn't specify exact releases to leave our options open, but the
current plan is to have both IPfilter & PF in 11.x releases for a transition
period, and then drop IPfilter in 12.0. As with all software plans, they're
subject to change as we develop the code.
