The hash:net,iface type is out for a long time. It is not possible to
change the meaning of src/dst without breaking backward compatibility,
therefore I won't do it.
It has nothing to do with "backward compatibility" at all, but
everything to do with something which was done wrong initially and needs
to be fixed. The fact that this "has been out for a long time" is not an
excuse - if anything, it reflects pretty badly that this wasn't spotted
earlier. Besides, when a bug is discovered do you write a man page
documenting it or do you fix that particular bug?
As a "workaround" I tried to explain the meaning
of src/dst for iface as clearly as possible.
As I stated before - documenting a bug doesn't make it right. The proper
course of action is to fix that particular bug, not document it in a
bloody man page!
