I'm still not convinced but I want find a short-term compromise solution for this which does not involve tons of email. We'll announce the netfilter workshop soon, likely to happen at Q1 2013 depending on availability of the organizer, but maybe Q2 2013 (but not later), I think it's the place to debate your proposal and nftables, of course. I will not get anything into mainline until then.
