REJECT as a default policy

I'd like to add the ability to use the REJECT target as a default policy
to the netfilter / iptables wishlist.

Using REJECT as a default is currently possible as a kludge a few steps
would be saved by allowing it as a default policy.  Perhaps that might
even speed up some filtering in some cases.

A good (IMHO) discussion of DROP vs REJECT has been written by Peter Benie :
