I'm surprised this is the case, since pfsense is a very capable FW built upon the pf version on FreeBSD. I've been running it for years with nary a problem. Would you say the outdated version of pf puts people running pfsense at risk?

Everything he said is true and I know this for sure. But I like PF so much and even the stripped down version of FreeBSD feels awesomely good. You're in no danger what-so-ever. OpenBSD's version of PF has loads of advanced features and way better performance but you'll only notice these things if you need an (very?) advanced configuration.
