Default Demand for Gnutella masquerading module (Linux)?

Hi,
I ask myself if there is demand for Linux masquerading/netfilter module (Kernel 2.4)?

This would allow incoming connections behind Linux firewalls/routers (home networks, intranet), less Gnutella Pushs and more available files. Currently this could only achieved through port forwarding, which is not very easy to setup for beginners - at least not default in any distibution (with a loose packetfilter configuration out of the box).
If there are more Gnutella servants which support Socks/NAT... or a good Linux proxy/reflector for Gnutella... then there might no demand for a masquerading/netfilter module?

Thx for feedback, Moak
