Why not ask the netfilter development lists such questions?
Stateful netfilter is not there because it's a total waste to completely duplicate all of the connection tracking et al. code into ipv6 counterparts when %80 of the code is roughly the same. People are working on a consolidation of these things so that there is no code duplication but it is a lot of work and there are bigger fires to put out at the moment. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
