Yes, ok, I prefer your suggested way of listing them.
Yeah, the fact the values for op= already have a precedent in xtables
limits us.

There are other paths that can trigger these messages that don't go
through nf_tables_commit() that affect the configuration data. The
counters are considered config data for auditing purposes and the act of
resetting them is audittable. And the only time we want to emit a
record is when they are being reset.
