1) it has never been in the mainstream kernel
2) the netfilter project doesn't support it's dangerous protocol abuse
   and will therefor never submit it into the mainline kernel
3) as compromise with the authors, we included it to be part of the
   patch-o-matic-ng patchset, available from http://www.netfilter.org/
