Sure, since IPVS is basically a netfilter extension, that sounds good
to me. Could all the IPv4- and IPv6-specific functionality (as opposed
to the commonly used code) also end up in there or would that still
have to reside under ipv[4,6]/...?

Does it seem wise to do this move as the first thing in this process?
That would probably be a good starter exercise to get to know the
whole process!

Thanks so much for helping!

Kind Regards,
Julius
