Re: [PATCH v2 27/27] RFC: spec: change iptables/ebtables from Requires to Recommends, add nftables

We really shouldn't be requiring ebtables and iptables any more, since they don't always need to be used. Likewise, we probably should at least Recommend nftables, even though it's pretty much always installed already anyway. (Changing Requires to Recommends for the nwfilter package is a bit premature, since it currently will always require iptables and ebtables to function properly, but changing those to Recommends leads to a much smaller list of dependent packages removed by "dnf rm iptables/ebtables").
