Assuming the user-space connection tracking thing pans out, it sounds like there isn't much possibility of this making it upstream. I'd still like to get it the module finished up. It's a useful learning exercise, and I think it could be useful for anyone who stays on an older kernel, "enterprise" distribution users for example. I would *really* appreciate some feedback on the various questions that I've posed in this thread.
