This is a broader consistency problem. With the current system iptables asks
specifically for the match version that is supported by userspace. If a new
(additional) version is implemented in the kernel, it won't be used.
If you change the userspace utility, it's up to the utility itself to
support/convert the old save format.
A good userspace library framework will make this easier, but I think the
current kernel version system is fine.
