They included it, good. But, ASAIK, it is not going to be the default FW, isn't it? It is going to be, eventually, but right now it's just there, available for the adventurers to toy with. > The foci and weight can be changed accordingly based on popularity. Yes, this is the point: we are discussing the changes for the pending exam objectives cleanup and updates, nftables just officially popped up in Debian: it's too early to include this technology in the present objective's revision at anything more than awareness level. When it's going to be popular it will show up il LPIC-2 "Topic 212: System Security" on a par with iptables. Right now I think it's inclusion is premature. > That's just my view.
