It's only a matter of time until it appears in a stock distro. 
User-side support is built-in with the "official" iptables-1.2.8 
release, including the Severn/Taroon beta RPMs, 
but a patch-and-compile is necessary on the kernel side. 
Despite the tiny size and scope of the patch, I am reluctant to 
stray from the stock kernels (up2date, client machines, etc.), 
and I suspect (and hope) that many others would like to see the 
tarpit target folded into the stock RH kernel.
