Agreed.
Something else to keep in mind is that a lot of people that are starting
with NetFilter are also starting with firewalling in general. So in
actuality they have a couple of things that they are learning at the
same time, 1) firewalling concepts, and 2) NetFilter's implementation.
With this in mind, it might be good to have detailed NetFilter specific
documentation (2 above) and reference generic firewalling documentation
(1 above). So that people have as much of what is needed all in one
location (site / documentation set).
