For all those hardy souls that use the OpenBSD 2.4 IPsec: be warned
that very soon (current schedule calls for Monday, certainly before
the end of next week in any case), IPsec will be undergoing major
rehauling. In particular, we are integrating PF_KEYv2, which requires
a number of changes in the underlying system. More important, it may
be a few days before isakmpd and (more likely) photurisd use this new
kernel interface. Therefore, if you depend on photurisd for your
IPsec, you may want to hold off updating your tree for a while
(possibly up to two weeks). Manual keying (ipsecadm) will be updated
to use the new interface, so those of you using just that are in good
shape (modulo any bugs introduced by yours truly during the
transition -- if your soundcard starts swearing at you, it's probably
my fault).

There will be another (shorter) warning right before the new code is
committed.

You have been warned.
- -Angelos
