The userspace frontend is probably even more different to iptables than

Are there plans to implement the existing iptables/ipchains/ipfw user
interfaces on top of nftables?
I've thought about a "skin" in userspace to parse the iptables syntax
and convert it to the new syntax. But the kernel won't have a compatibility
interface and I'm not sure yet whether userspace will also be able to output
iptables syntax. ipchains etc. definitely not.
So, in that case if you are not going to provide a "skin" and that
iptables will be removed eventually. wouldnt it break applications using
iptables?
Sorry for such a basic question, but just curious.
