That was mine, too (you can omit -p in this case, can't you?).
And if what you say is true, I'd be in deep shit if it reset to,
iptables -A INPUT -p ALL -m state -j ACCEPT
without a warning.
It *was* resetted here. I just noticed it reading this discussion.
Don't exactly know what the "stateless" rule did (perhaps just
nothing?), but since I didn't notice it for a pretty long time,
it can't have been all to bad?! At least, it didn't crash the
whole system :-)
But I would have appreciated at least an update notice, too!
