Well, I suppose we can take the minimalistic, aka "short rope", approach right 
now since the ingress/egress controls are still new and not really integrated 
into policy in the form of templates.  As we continue to develop the policy 
and we find a need for them we can always [re-]add them.  Unless anyone chimes 
in over the weekend or next Monday I'll respin a patch next week.

Just out of curiosity, are you guys using any of the new stuff or are you 
still using your own special kernel with the rejected network controls?  I ask 
because I would be curious about any feedback you might have on the new bits 
in mainline.
