This is not how it works.
Patrick's completely right. Newnat is scheduled for kernel submission. It will go first into 2.5.x and then be backported to 2.4.x. However the H.323 helper - just because of the reasons Patrick wrote above - won't go into the kernel, it'll remain in patch-o-matic. As soon as the newnat API is in the kernel, all the current difficulties around newnat/h323 will disappear.
