I planned to distribute the kernel module separately until 2.6.30 arrives, add a page to conntrack-tools.netfilter.org, document this in the conntrack-tools manual [1] to describe the active-active setup, and so on. Basically, my motivation is to get some feedback from people as soon as possible without waiting the whole kernel cycle release. I know that this seems something exceptional and it may confuse people. Another choice is to keep it in pom-ng in the meantime, or perhaps simply be a little bit patient :).
