I decided I do not want to. Once 1.4.3 goes live, Xtables-addons moves with it. That makes it easier for me... As for the user of whom we should be aware too: it is easier to upgrade iptables than it is to upgrade the kernel, hence I think it is a viable option to spend the time gained by doing so at keeping the kernel-level code workable in a wide range of kernel versions. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
