Firehol still rocks!

Dear developers,
Earlier this year, I had a pass over alternatives to Firehol, and started
rebuilding my firewall, first trying firewalld, had a pass over ufw and reviewed
a few others. None, I found, came close to the intuitive firewall formulation
of Firehol.
I'm still with Firehol, and I just wanted to say this, so that the developers
know it is still a great piece of software.
I understand it needs a big effort to change the rule engine to support nft,
there's a bug open for that at https://github.com/firehol/firehol/issues/352
and that it is hard to commit that much time to it. I have held back posting
stuff, in the hope that I might myself find time to read up on nft and see if I
managed to find some time, but I couldn't. Sorry.
Nevertheless, it seems like an important thing to do, so just to encourage it.
It would be great if someone found the time.
Kind regards,
Kjetil
