I fully appreciate your effort, however with it you forked ipset 5.x and now the two branches cannot talk to each other. I'm not convinced that ipset should be moved from nfnetlink to genetlink. It'd make life easier for the users at the beginning, however on the longer run it'd buy nothing and I believe ipset belongs to nfnetlink. I considered the idea of adding support of both protocols, however it might make the acceptance for kernel inclusion harder. I'm not happy.
