To me, basic means that at least two of the following conditions are met: 1) that is universally available; 2) that is widely used; 3) that constitutes the foundation of more complex, evolved tasks. Other than been off-topic to LPIC-1, I consider coverage of nftables premature because LPI certification should target what today is used to get the job done, consolidated tools of the trade, not what in the future is going to be. We should of course be ready for the time nftables will be the default, general firewall tool, we'd better anticipate changes not to take too much time updating the exam topics to reflect current, up-to-date technology, but we should not put in the topics what today is very little employed in both the Enterprise and the desktop market.
