I'm worried that this is too early, two releases is not particulary long and I'd expect a lot of people haven't noticed the warning yet, especially on headless systems. Looking at bug #611, we've never claimed "-ptcp" would be supported, so this hardly justifies the risk IMO. At least this needs more discussion, I'd like to hear a few more opinions on this. -- 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
