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.
