CARP was imported to OpenBSD on Oct 17

after OpenBSD implemented CARP, in less than 1 month, FreeBSD and NetBSD are integrating it 
we planned to cleanup CARP on KAME tree (for portability), but FreeBSD/NetBSD action was quicker!

no *BSD had VRRP implementation due to CISCO patent claim, 5+ years after the VRRP RFC was published
KAME had VRRP6 implementation but was removed due to CISCO patent claim

speed of adoption = evidence of how much people want something that is *really* free
