Can the 'No ALTQ' message be suppressed?

Because I am turning PF on and off quite a bit, I was wondering if there is some way to suppress the 'No ALTQ' message. All I really want to see is either, pf enabled or pf disabled.

Whilst I am on the topic, why does it repeat "No ALTQ support in kernel. ALTQ related functions disable." three times?
 
ALTQ can be used with PF for bandwidth control. However, ALTQ can't be used as a module, so it has to be statically compiled into the kernel. One way to suppress these messages is to use a kernel with ALTQ compiled in. No idea if there are other ways of doing it.
 
Does using # pfctl -q help?

You could comment out the warning from the source code and recompile.

You'll find it in /usr/src/contrib/pf/pfctl/pfctl.c around line 1906

Super annoying, I wish it was turned off by default unless you specify pfctl -v

I don't want to compile a custom kernel because that adds complication when I want to do a binary upgrade.
