I have not. My stuff existed before Fail2Ban. It worked with iptables
and it also worked with firewalld.

I know that Linux is a ever moving target. I just dislike that something
that worked no longer works without at least going through a deprecation
notice period.

As someone noted, if cars went through the same changes that operating
systems do, we'd all have to learn to drive again every time we bought a
new car.

I am not belittling the effort that goes into all that Linux is
including firewalld. I wrote software for over 30 years. I appreciate
the difficulty of development, user base satisfaction, and the value of
regression testing.

Thanks,
John
