Hi!

The previous json layout for libnftnl has been unmaintained for quite a bit of
time.

The new json format is rather similar in layout, but it is well-documented, it
integrates with high-level libnftables library and it is solving a number of
well-known problems. Please, have a look at documentation:

     man libnftables-json

This is available through nftables, you can fetch a clone from:
git://git.netfilter.org/nftables

We also now offer a python binding for libnftables, have a look at nftables/py.

I think it should be relatively little work to adapt you python application to
take the json format from libnftables. Actually, it's going to me much better
since you will not have to figure out how to match on the ip dscp field some
day - which is not trivial in libnftnl.

Regarding library version, I agree we should have probably bumped version
1.2.0, we can do so in the next release.

Thanks!
