iptables release plans

[Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>]

About a potential iptables release for 2.6.38 - we don't have any
new features in the kernel that would require a new release.
However we've had a lot of other changes that would be good to
get out for wider testing.

Unfortunately due some confusion at the time of the last kernel
release, all patches for the upcoming feature in 2.6.39 have been
added to the master branch. I don't want to release extensions
for new kernel features while we're in the -rc phase since we
might still decide to change the userspace API.

So the options basically are:

- branch off the current HEAD, remove all new extension for upcoming
  features and release that branch

- skip the release for 2.6.38

Any opinions?
