Is there any roadmap for the release of the stable > release? We try to think that our releases are stable, but we do have some obvious missing points, but they are small. F.i. you can't match on the IPv4 version right now, but obviously, that's not important (and fixed soon). None of the currently visible missing features will require an incompatible break, it will simply be more features at some point. So we are of the opinion that we do not break anything and that all existing features except set intervals are considered stable, but even those will from a userspace POV with 99% certainty remain as they are. So regarding stable - we will not break things unless absolutely necessary, and in that case you will get an appropriate warning period at runtime and in the release notes. Regarding a roadmap, aka a TODO and/or wishlist, I've talked about this with Pablo last week. We will formulate two lists soon, one consisting of how to map iptables features to nftables and what is missing, one about what we want to achieve using nftables.
