Agreed.
However I do think (my opinion is) that IP is by far the simple majority
of traffic. Other protocols are less common and closer to the special
use scenario than they are away from it.
IMO restricting ebtables to bridges would be like restricting iptables
to routers.
I in no way was implying that EBTables should be restricted. Rather I
was commenting on what I believe the use scenario is, /now/ any form of
restriction.
