+We have a thing that sets ipv6 address on lan interface, yay us

+A firewall would be a very good idea

+TODO for now:
+
+- services.default is suboptimal as there is no way to add to it
+without wiping it
+
+- decide whether to use liminix- or min- as our prefix for nixy
+  commands
+
+- should we move config.outputs  -> config.system.outputs ? see Mar 28
+
+- less crap firewall
+
+- create an l2tp configuration
+
+- iperf and tuning
+
+- wlan country code

+how can a client machine "opt out" of using the firewall, to allow
+incoming connections?  Most convenient would be to have a separate SSID
+for grownups. Assuming it shows up as a separate wlan device, we can
+write firewall rules to allow incoming connections on that interface
+(can we? only if the packet is identifiable as destined for that interface)

+
+We could block incoming for slaac and dhcp addresses and permit it for
+stable private addresses. If we were fairly sure that devices won't
+ask for stable private addresses just for funsies.

+
+How are we going to do this firewall thing then?
+I can see no reason to have more than one table per family, so lets
+just name the tables after families
+
+There is nothing in nftables for functionally grouping rules by
+requirement that may touch multiple hooks/chains, so we need our own
+abstraction - and we can't call it any name that nftables uses already
+(so, not "ruleset"). rulegroup?
+
+"policy" would be a good name except that it's already taken
+
+"concern"? "requirement"? "feature"?
