The problem though is, that I, who originally wanted to unify arptables into iptables (as a start, because it has not diverged as much as ebtables), have thrown the towel on that on the grounds of libiptc being such a beast[1], and that developers' time would be better spent on (fasten seatbelts) duplicating xtables/iptables (once more) with the goal of creating an NFPROTO-agnostic table structure instead that obsoletes ip,ip6,arp and ebtables in one go.
