For the time being, yes. There are some other packages to work on first.

However, this would be an easy fix we can simply patch into our version of co=
llectd and therefore we should be fine.

Could someone please submit a patch for iptables which we are not going to me=
rge, yet, and create a ticket for fixing collectd and assigning that to me?

Best,
