Control: forcemerge 865975 -1 I looked at the bug list of docker.io, found it's already reported at #865975
docker did this intentionally, and also metioned this behaviour in its chanelog(in src engine/CHANGELOG.md, not in /usr/share/doc) * Change the default `FORWARD` policy to `DROP` [#28257](https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/28257) And please note that this change is since docker 1.13.0(2017-01-18). in #865975, people has already palyed with the bug severity, and I don't think it's worth playing again this time.
