Naming old tools as legacy, implying new modern tools should be used for iptables. Also see link to Netfilter Workshop 2018, for further details about the decision.
• 04:4604:46, 4 April 2021 diff hist +654 m Iptables Undo revision 657376 by Lahwaacz (talk) Please check what upstream recommends. For iptables upstream recommends NOT to use legacy tools but use nf_tables based iptables tools. Arch is using outdated tools and hence this Note is necessary so people use modern iptables tool and not legacy. Let us discuss on talk page instead of undoing again and but please prove that netfilter guys recommend use of legacy tool before undoing. Thank you. Tag: Undo
