I am very sorry for my late reply and for the trouble my change has
caused. However, I am not sure if I agree that it triggers a
regression. Had conntrack for example not set any family and my change
caused only IPv4 entries to be flushed, then I agree it would have
been a regression. If you ask me, what my change has exposed is
incorrect API usage in conntrack. One could argue that since conntrack
explicitly sets the family to AF_INET, the fact that IPv6 entries also
has been flushed has been incorrect. However, if the general consensus
is that this is a regression, I am more than willing to help in
finding a solution (if I have anything to contribute :)).

BR,
Kristian
