I have to agree with these guys, the whole POM and Xtables things is

Indeed. IMO they should not exist anymore.
With regards to POM(-ng) - I cannot talk about the other project since
it is not supported by the Netfilter Project itself - it was something
that we needed during the 2.4 days, since we could not add new features
to the kernel that quickly. However, with the new 2.6 development cycle,
features can get into kernel faster. So if you need some feature or some
contibution into mainline, go and ask for it. Of course, it must suit
the standards and it must be an interesting contribution to what we
already have. On the other hand, you may also get the reason why it is
not in mainline yet.
Well, Anyway I think that we've already discussed about this in a long
thread [1].

Could the netfilter team at least publish something along the lines of:
POM(-ng) is now being deprecated. There is another independent project
run by X over at U which performs a replacement service ...
