maybe eventually it could use nftables, which is the better newer version.

YES!  SWEET, ICY COLD, HOLY ALASKAN ASPARAGUS TIPS! THIS IS AWESOME!
How cool is it to abstract away the details for a firewall!?  Man I've
tried learning iptables, and it is just very weird syntax and hard to
understand!  Thanks for working on this!

I invite you to forward your original email to guix-patches@gnu.org.
That way you open a specific issue and your code is assigned a bug
number!
