With the iptables source you already get the userspace part of the set match and target. The (new) ipset source tarball contains both the ipset userspace tool and the kernel modules, including the netfilter match and target. There's no need for patch-o-matic-ng for ipset anymore, so the life is easier to get the complete ipset functionality. As I stated several times, I do not want to submit the kernel part of ipset for inclusion: there's no point to waste the resources of the maintainers as I have been working on a complete rewriting of ipset. By the next netfilter development workshop I want to release the first version of it, so it's not in the indefinite future anymore. I'd not like the ipset userspace tool to be included into the iptables source either. That'd be an even stranger situation and then there'd come even bigger pressure to submit the kernel part of the present version of ipset.
