My understanding of the matter was that one of the aspects of your hire for
Sun Microsystems was to better integrate IPFilter into Solaris.

Sun was supposed to produce the missing interfaces and make them public so
that IPFilter would no longer have to "peek" (and "poke"?) into private
kernel structs and interfaces.

Has then this not taken place?

If the answer is no, will it take place, and if so, when?
