argh! I am not even sure what the changes would be at this stage.
Probably some netfilter (packet filtering) chains wouldn't
be traversed and thus rules in there would have no effect.
This could almost certainly be resolved by moving the rules
to a different chain.

Previously broken setups that did not have packets being
treated as local would magically work.

Setups that for some reason really want packets to be
local would stop working. But are there actually any
such setups in practice?

There are probably others but I haven't done much testing
so I am not sure.
