I think we need a sysctl to enable this on demand, eg.
'nf_conntrack_icmpv6_accept_redirects'
This is changing the default behaviour, my main concern here is that
filtering policies not accepting redirects will now make it via
RELATED.
I would prefer the user explicitly requests this.
Let me know, thanks!
