This is not so easy - it was decided that we don't want to remove it 
just that because of connbytes. The final conclusion was to keep it 
disabled by default (if not enabled by kernel/modules/sysctl option) but 
enabling it automatically for the current NS if nefilter rules contains 
"-m connbytes".

Sorry, I should have gotten into this and finished it earlier, my bad. :(
