How many people do you think really peruse dmesg for low level warnings?
Esp. considering that the kernel boot messages aren't even printed on
the console any more.
A warning that isn't displayed anywhere is not much of a warning IMO.
In my case it wasn't even printed during the boot / firewall startup,
but some four hours later (when I guess the first time a conntrack rule
failed to operate in the legacy way hit), so even if I checked the logs
during the firewall startup, when the iptables rules that don't work any
more were added, it wouldn't have helped me.
