The framework fully supports this, imposing an artificial limitation makes no sense to me at all. And more importantly, without this patch nft breaks when users load their ruleset throught iptables-compat-restore. With that artificial limitation, some rulesets will break, some other not. Admit it, there is no way we can control what users will do in the future. The only way out is to move forward in an evolutionary fashion. -- 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
