ipf, iptables, etc

I believe I read a thread earlier this week which
someone mentioned somthing about OpenBSD
dropping ipf. Did I read this correctly?

The biggest reason I use openbsd & ipf is the ease
which one can construct the rules. Readability is much easier
than ipchains, and I just haven't dove into iptables yet.

Anyone care to enlighten me on the direction these two
are going to take.
