What happens if:

1) ebtables is running at the time of an SRU update? Then a new ebtables would fail to detect the lock of the old ebtables invocation.

2) Existing scripts depend on the location of the ebtables lock?

For the SRU, would it make more sense to not move the lock path, and instead arrange for /var/lib/ebtables to be cleared on boot? Opinions welcome.
