I also need snort sam patches for snort 2.9*.  and you might want to 
check with wfreeman who will be maintaining snort for freebsd (I think)

for freebsd, its critical:  not only for the distributed firewall issue 
as Matt said, but, since freebsd snort-inline port is stuck at 2.8.4, 
its the only game in town.
(and as we know, there were those packet loss issues with 2.8.6.1 that 
you want us to upgrade to.. and, once you go past 2.9.1, we won't be 
able to get 2.8.6.1 VRT rules anymore)
