Arch Linux still uses the legacy iptables backend, as opposed to the nft backend that every other distribution uses.
This has been reported since 2021 with no response: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/iptables/-/issues/1 To me it looks like a direct, simple migration, and it just needs someone with the needed perms to look at it, but I could be wrong. It's assigned to the notoriously overburdened Felix, is there anything a non-core member can do, other than wait? It's not a *large* issue, it's just mildly annoying to have workarounds in my deploys, as it is installed on any system due to iproute2 needing an iptables backend, and some things just outright don't work with that, requiring the nft one. Thanks, Martin
