The point I am making (well, actually, two points) is this:

1) The existing /proc interface has secmark, albeit showing the wrong 
output/field, whatever you want to call it and, for me, that isn't right 
and needs to be fixed; and

2) Why should I have bloat my system any further and install yet another 
set of tools (which will have no further use apart from 'conntrack -L') 
when I can get exactly the same functionality via the OS without further 
hassle of having to maintain the said set of tools?
