<pre>While adding more standard services to the list would help, and the ability to
define custom services is useful, it misses the point.
As a new user of nftables coming from an iptables world, when I see a service
name (e.g. 'domain') I expect that to be identical to /etc/services - as soon
as there is *any* incompatibility I get frustrated. The service list used by
nft should be /etc/services, not some custom internal table.
As long as a custom internal table is used, there will always be issues. Just
use the system-provided services database via nsswitch.</pre>
