I don't want to apply this for the same reason why I un-scheduled
ip_queue of removal:

- the compat layer doesn't work (look at the code, it simply
   does nothing)

- the old library is statically linked, so its not a drop-in
   replacement

- the compat library only works (theoretically) with
   nfnetlink_queue, so you can't write an application
   that works on both old and new kernels
