--- Comment #1 from Matteo Riondato <[email protected]> ---
(Assuming you are talking about specifying "on $interface" in a
match/pass/block rule): I don't think this is a bug: the interface may not
exist at the time the rule is loaded, but may come to exist later, and we s=
till
want the rule there, so it is "ready" when the interface appears. pfctl has=
 no
way to know whether that's our intention or not.
