I keep hearing this. But why wait? Some users can be helped by raw today. Those that can't will have to wait for a better bridge or spend time setting it up properly.
Because for every user who understands the limitations of the raw socket interface and is willing to accept them in order to avoid setting up a bridge, there will be a dozen who's experience will be worse because they tried the raw socket interface and it behaved in a way that they didn't expect.
We aren't talking about adding a feature here. We're talking about adding something that's supposed to be "easier" but I'm arguing that it's not easier unless you're a kernel hacker and deeply understand the limitations of the implementation.
