document if ufw will support nftable or what else are the plans

Asked by simohe

Please documentate somewhere if ufw will support [nftable](https://askubuntu.com/tags/nftables/info) or if there are other plans for firewalls in ubuntu.

It looks like nftables is replacing iptables in linux. I find nothing about what ufw plans to do.

Should I convert this to a bug report?

ufw has support for nft via https://git.launchpad.net/ufw/commit/?id=9e095c2253ad68aaf6768506081af352dee2d0fe. Note that it does not have to implement a new nftables backend to support nft and can simply use the iptables-legacy or iptables-nft command. In Debian and Ubuntu in particular, it will follow whatever the system is configured to use.
