So, to use in C7's firewalld (some of, because it is doubtful all exists) the functionality of IP Tables, one must first convert one's adequately expressed IP Tables wishes into a pseudo language which then changes the longer and more convoluted firewalld 'instruction' back into normal IP Tables syntax ?

Some may innocently believe this is wonderful for Red Hat's eventual Lindoze Linux but how is this making life easier for computer-knowledgeable people ? Is it genuinely sensible ?
