That's a big forklift upgrade.  Nobody in the community has the cycles, or the 
pressing-need, to perform that, no matter how good of an idea it may be.

I personally think we should decouple NAT and Firewalling.  And I believe Oxide 
has OPTE in their suite of software that may perform some of those NAT 
functions, along with possibly solving other adjacent problems.  (I haven't 
given OPTE a proper read; just a README skim.)
