Shorewall supports the iptables CT target now (see 
shorewall-notrack(5)); the problem is that when the deprecated mode is 
turned off, everyone who uses helpers (which is almost 100% of the 
Shorewall user base) will have to change their configuration in an 
unintuitive way.

My challenge is to determine how to make the transition smoother.
