One approach: firewalld could have a "direct-only" mode. If that mode were
enabled, it'd load a static script from from /etc/sysconfig/iptables on
launch, and respond to any commands other than the "direct" api with an "in
direct-only mode" error. Then, firewalld-aware applications could choose to
raise a user error or to go to whatever fallback they have.
