Hello List,
Is anyone here aware that fedora is planning on replacing iptables with
something called firewalld?
Regards,

It's an abstraction layer built on top of iptables and ebtables,
not a replacement.
A simple read of the project web site would have told you this,
and I encourage you to do some research in the future instead
of spreading misinformation.
Thanks.

This is not what it says in the feature page at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/firewalld-default#Detailed_Description
That says:
The services iptables, iptables-ipv6 and ebtables will be replaced by
firewalld. system-config-firewall in it's [sic] current form will also be
replaced.

The "service" as in the user level scripts, not the kernel level
components.
Read the project page, for real:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FirewallD
Where it explicitly says:
====================
Adding an abstraction layer on top of ip*tables and ebtables firewall
rules makes adding rules simple and more intuitive. The abstraction
layer needs to be powerful, but also simple, which makes this not an
easy task. A firewall language has to gen invented for this. Firewall
rules have a fixed position and querying generic information about
access state, access policies for ports and other firewall features is
possible.
====================
Please stop wasting everyone's time.
