[PATCH] Warn that ipchains and ipfwadm are going away
At the recent netfilter workshop in Erlangen, we was decided to remove the backwards compatibility code for ipchains and ipfwadm. This will allow significant cleanup of interfaces, since we had to have a mid-level interface for the backwards compatibility layer to use. Start off with a warning for 2.6.9, so any remaining users have a chance to migrate. Their firewall scripts might not check return values, and they might get a nasty surprise when this goes away.
