Actually, I'm asking for a lot more than that; I'm asking that the code 
that I'm interfacing with be examinable.  Otherwise, it's just another 
"black box" mechanism whose efficacy I must take on faith.  Whereas I 
personally may not have the chisenbop to audit the iptables code, the 
fact that an unlimited number of people with arbitrarily high capability 
*can* audit the iptables and related code counts for a lot.
