+      Btrfs generally does COW rather than updating in-place, allowing
+      snapshots and file copies to defer the actual copying and save
+      space
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Filesystems may still end up with multiple copies of the same
+      file content
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Btrfs doesn't actively merge these duplicates, but userland can
+      tell it to do so
+    </li>

+      Linux has several firewall APIs - iptables, ip6tables, arptables

+    </li>
+    <li>

+      Userland could only use the four protocol-specific APIs,
+      although the internal netfilter API is more flexible

+    <li>
+      nftables exposes more of this flexibility, allowing userland

+    <li>
+      nftables userland tool uses this API and is already packaged

+      Eventually, the old APIs will be removed and the old userland
