LOL.
Perhaps you could compile iptables support as a kernel module. That way
someone who wants an easy upgrade path can (temporarily) use the
ipchains module. Perhaps you could also add a few patches from iptables'
patch-o-matic too. There might be some people (like me) who absolutely
need the ftp-multi-patch (damm ABNAMRO home banking),. or just want irc
functionality. I have been running Tom Eastep's shorewall on a 2.4.3
kernel for a few days this week, and haven't experienced any problems
with the pending-patches+ftp-multi+ftp-pasv+eggdrop patches applied
Don't include those patches just for me as I will compile my own kernel
anyway.

P.S. If I'm right the lrp package of shorewall is broken as "shorewall"
is 9 characters long and doesn't fit the 8.3 msdos filenames on lrp boot
floppies.
