yes.

One issue with this approach, incase of set rules
nft will throw this error
"Error: Could not process rule: File exists"
So, i need to flush ruleset before import them with json.
Is it okay?

I tried, but they always throw the same error.
Shouldn't we keep them in testsuite so that we know that these set of
rules needs to be fixed.
