On those machines I used to compile xtables-addons just because I needed ipset, so it made more sense to use ipset as standalone and save myself the hassle (and some resources too). I planned to do this for months, but wasn't able to due to time constraints. I can now afford more time and I am glad I was able to finally split it up. I am particularly pleased that I was able to integrate it into the kernel, which saved me another headache of having to deal with the bl**dy buildsys packages on Fedora which were needed to build the kernel modules.
