As in, you imported a copy of the service list from firewalld? I would much
rather see your two backends use the native services / application profiles
functionality from firewalld / UFW instead of carrying a copy in the
frontend. Upstream firewalld and/or UFW can add new services over time,
distributions can also add custom services. By carrying a copy of the list,
you miss those additions. And you also reinvent functionality already
present in the underlying backend.

OK, let me state the following clearly:
I am absolutely fine with these issues being addressed at a later time, post
review, as long as the issues are on the radar (which, I must say, was not
really the impression I got over at the nx-firewall project).
It is not my intention to hold the review hostage, so please do not count my
messages as an objection to the review.
