Subject: [RFD] iptables:  mangle table obsoletes filter table

With the existence of the mangle table, how useful is the filter table?

Other than requiring the REJECT target to be ported to the mangle table, is 
the filter table faster than the mangle table?

If not, then shouldn't the filter table be obsoleted to avoid confusion?

Thanks!
