Is there some reason why IPSET kernel modules are not in kernel source?
Seems like iptable modules are included in kernel source. Not so with the IPSET modules. Is this something political?

Nothing political. ipset needs to be rewritten before submitting, in order to avoid backward-forward compatibility issues in the future. That makes me say "no submitting yet".

Is that the ipset kernel modules? Its been at least 4 years.
Fedora et al just wont accept the program ipset until the iptable / ipset kernel mods are in the 'upstream' kernel source.
Some reason as to why u cannot repair the ip_set kernel-modules as new kernels are released?

Then your solution is to package and compile it yourself. FWIW I do think that there are numerous distributions which package ipset.

I would not ask such a thing. While I am sure you did not intend this, it comes across as being ungrateful and demanding. Free software contributors often are doing it on their own time. Be thankful for what we have, and try to show it. :)
That said, I too will be grateful when ipset is ready for the mainstream kernel. ;)

No ipset because no supporting kernel modules. Fedora module policy is that it must come from 'upstream' kernel providers.
