Turning NAT support on by default might actually be reasonable, since it 
doesn't really break anything if it's not needed - it just eats a bit of CPU 
with unnecessary conntrack lookups.

For the flowmodes, basically triple-isolate's raison d'être is to be a 
reasonable default which (usually) gives most of the benefits of the "dual" 
modes, without needing to know a-priori anything about network topology.  In 
the most typical application, the distinction can be seen in whether the qdisc 
is attached to an IFB or a physical interface, but in deployments that we'd 
*like* to see, the opposite cases easily occur.  To do anything more 
sophisticated, we'd need to watch some traffic and guess after a while, and 
that doesn't feel right.
