[ale] Firewalld is incomplete

[Jim Kinney]

Hmm. Looks like iptables has not been dropped. My Fedora 29 installs:
nftables-0.9.0-2.fc29.x86_64ebtables-2.0.10-28.fc29.x86_64iptables-
1.8.0-3.fc29.x86_64
Apparently the different tools can all be used to manipulate the
netfilter subsystem in the kernel.
But, yes, for some loosely defined value of "using", you are correct
that nftables is the replacement.
By the time I wrap my head of _that_ it will all be run in systemd
anyway so I won't need to do anything :-}

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
