Sure, I think that's a great idea to use the -C option before adding a
duplicate rule.  As you point out, rules with different timestamps
would not be handled by this, but I'd say that's ok - one will just
expire a little later.

I'm gearing up for HMAC work in the next fwknop release (most of the
HMAC code is already done, but merging in 2.0.4 plus a few other things
will take some time), and your idea above should be added as well.
Damien has suggested using the ticketing system built into Github for
better project tracking along with having a more well-defined roadmap,
and I completely agree that we need to do this too.

Thanks,
