Still, the fact remains, it will become a feature as 13.2 will come with a Kernel > 3.12 for sure.
Thus all the SuSEfirewall (script) stuff will be hit by it, and has to be modified and tested, included the Yast-module.
As nftables are still rather technology preview than production ready, I don't believe there will be any need to switch SuSEfirewall to nftables in 13.2. I feel the main problem with SuSEfirewall is that the sets of potential developers and potential users are almost disjoint. So the users of it won't care whether we use iptables or nftables as long as the scripts work. Therefore I would really appreciate if this time we switched to the new technology (or made it the default if we decide to support both for some time) only after it does deserve it (yes, unlike KDE4 or systemd). After all, we still keep shipping ifconfig and friends in our default installation, even if they are obsolete for more than 15 years.
