I was wondering if there are any plans on using the FreeBSD 9.0 kernel, and moving away from 8.3?

FreeBSD 9.0 was intended for pfsense 2.1 but the developers say that there are so many things to change and some parts are unstable and so it will be just FreeBSD 8.3 for pfsense 2.1.
Later versions will probably have FreeBSD 9.0

Considering one of pfsense's main building blocks is pf, isn't it a bit disheartening that FreeBSD's pf is so far behind the latest version? Right now FreeBSD 8.3 includes pf 4.1, which was released 5 years ago. Even the general-purpose Mac OS X Lion (OS X 10.7) includes a newer version (pf 4.3). Meanwhile OpenBSD will be releasing 5.1 in about a month: http://www.openbsd.org/51.html |

Our pf isn't really the same as the one freebsd ships with. There are a number of extension specific to our project.
That said, the big change configuration file is a significant undertaking to get right.

Pfsense has "supported" sata disks for many years. And its about the hdd controllers,not the hdd's or the bustype...  |

No, there isn't anything in newer versions we would benefit from that we don't already have back ported. |

Can we take that as a confirmation that TRIM will be included then? |

Considering the amount of disk space pfSense normally uses TRIM for SSDs is moot. With just writing to some RRD databases it's not going to make much difference, if at all.
TRIM is something to maintain performance if you fill the disk and delete everything. Which isn't very likely.
If it's in FreeBSD 8.3, great, otherwise I see no point in investing time to backport it.

TRIM makes a lot of sense in the context of certain packages, such as squid.

you do realize that squid, in combination with TRIM will wear your SSD out faster, right?
