Each rule that can send packets into a pipe has at least two conditions (e.g. IP address, interface name, and in or out via that interface). Do you propose that I apply DeMorgan's theorem to every rule that sends packets into a pipe? If I did, I'd produce a whole long list of "skipto" rules for each individual rule I had before. Could get very messy -- and create overhead. --Brett Glass
