So, what is the current status, please? Could we perhaps collect open
points and clarify who's working on what?

>From the top of my head, open points are:

* Where to keep nf_sock:
  - Either completely separate (needs init/deinit routines for
    convenience).
  - Or as part of nft_ctx (needs getter/setter for advanced usage).

* Do we want global init/deinit functions, or can we put everything into
  context init/deinit functions?

* How to handle object printing:
  - Having a library print to stdout is probably not desired.
  - Is formatting into a string for further processing by the
    application sufficient?

Anything else? Are there tasks which can be done now and nobody wants so
I could take over?

Cheers, Phil
