Apart of your discussion (i think it's quite interesting although you might not agree), is there a summary of the status of nftables? The last time i read about it, while i was at the university, i thought it was dead. I read that Patrick McHardy was the one pushing the project but never heard any news after 2010. Now i read that Pablo is taking care of it. So i would love to hear more details on the roadmap for nftables, might be interesting for me and my work here. thanks -- Andreas Herz
