wait ... just to be clear, you're saying that referring to a
features *directory* is a historical remnant? note above that i'm
asking about what appears to be a historical remnant where it looks
like netfilter used to be a .scc file directly under features/, now
it's in a subdirectory.
as it stands now, it would *appear* that the statement:
KERNEL_FEATURES += "features/netfilter.scc"
is simply wrong and can't possibly work, correct?
