Thanks Manuel!

Yes please test bridging. The new code is a port from pfSense, where
the code has been used for about 9 months with no issues, but it's
possible I messed up something in porting it. It tests fine and is
being used in production on a couple installs for a couple weeks now,
but needs more testing.

In addition to the filtering behavior change Manuel mentioned, the
check to only allow one bridged interface has been removed. You can
bridge multiple interfaces together, including in multiple groups. The
GUI is functionally no different than before, if_bridge just allows
more bridging possibilities, and the back end is changed to
accommodate this.
