Every time I'm searching I do find some users of at least some
iptables headers. Maybe not this specific one, but that doesn't
mean much, fact is there might be users.
That being said, I'd be fine removing both the functionality
and the headers after a sufficiently long period. I'm not
really confident that the period has indeed be long enough
though. When did we schedule this for removal?
