Is it worth considering compling a generic MPPF kernel for user convenience

Hello,

I was wondering what devs / more experienced users think about
having BSDMPPF kernel as an option in the upcoming release
so that users could opt to test that by selecting alternate BSDMPPF kernel
(without having to re-compile the kernel)

the tested benefits on a PC engines apuc2 is at least 2x performance
from my lab testing here

I think having a higher install base of consistently complied generic
kernels with
pf enabled would be beneficial

what do the more experienced users of OpenBSD think about this?

are there any down sides with this approach ?

Thanks,

Tom Smyth
