Not an issue because Florian did accept your patch.

I don't think there is possibly issue with starting with that
implementation and then provide a better one later.

IPFIX is in ulogd wanted feature list since so long that this is not an

Some generic points regarding this patchset:
      * There is some whitespace errors please fix them when resending
      * I need the Signed-off-by line in your patch (for the same reason
        as in Linux
        https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingPatches)

More comments to come in reply to individual patches.
