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
