I was indeed talking about the late loop detector, not the early loop detector. I agree that the dependencies for iptables are pretty simple right now; I was more pointing out that even if the user modifies them to be complicated enough to have a loop, it would be preferable to fail secure (start nothing) rather than open (omit iptables). As the late loop detector is no longer under consideration, however, I retract my question. -- Christopher Head
