Moreover, I think there's no general consensus between networking maintainers whether or not the features tproxy provides are worth the hassles. Transparent proxying features have been removed during the 2.3 development as there seemed little interest in those. Of course there are a handful of companies interested in having the feature in mainline, but let's face the facts: the majority of users do not care about tproxy.
There's other features and drivers in Linux where a similar thing applies. If tproxy doesn't get into the way when it's not used or turned off, why shouldn't it be merged? cheers, Lennert
