It makes sense absolutely. Consider:

No, my question is does it ever make sense to use conntrack as
part of bridge netfilter. That is, do you ever want to test it
in your rules that are run as part of bridge netfilter.
Probably not, but thats not how its used currently. The packets are
passed to IP netfilter, which performs connection tracking. I'm not
sure how we could avoid the negative effects while still allowing this.
