I do hope so. That's why I'm working on it ;-) But to be honestly: I
think that the interface handling must be rewritten from scratch to have
a clean design.

To give you an example undependently from OpenVPN: Just add two or three
VLAN interfaces to your system, add filtering rules to it and then
remove one of the vlan interfaces from the beginning (or in the middle).
You will see, that the rulesets have changed from the deleted interface
to the next one :-( It's because of the renumbering scheme which takes
place when an interface was deleted.
