Keep up the good work, Jozsef!

Did you ever think about moving the configuration interface on top of
nfnetlink? 

I was considering to push for a merge ipset at some close point in the
future, but then re-considered it and asked myself whether we should
really introduce any big new subsystems based on the {set,get}sockopt()
based kernel/usrerspace interface.

Yes, it's probably quite a significant amount of work.. but you get all
the benefits, especially regarding extensibility of the data format,
etc.

What's your thought on this?

Cheers,
	Harald
