As part of an initative to clean up the Github PR submissions, submitting
this patch to the mailing list for inclusion. Looks obviously correct to
me.

I have a vague idea that this is actually different. Like one is that 
condition is not fulfilled and the other is that it is not part of the 
subnet if is different when there is different protocol but I might 
misremember.

Certainly does not work with my iptables:
# iptables -A OUTPUT -s ! 10.0.0.0/8 -j ACCEPT
Bad argument `10.0.0.0/8'
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
# iptables -A OUTPUT ! -s 10.0.0.0/8 -j ACCEPT
#

Regards,

[!] -s, --source address[/mask][,...]
    Source specification. Address can be either a network name, a hostname, a network IP address (with /mask), or a plain IP address. Hostnames will be resolved once only, before the rule is submitted to the kernel. Please note that specifying any name to be resolved with a remote query such as DNS is a really bad idea. The mask can be either an ipv4 network mask (for iptables) or a plain number, specifying the number of 1's at the left side of the network mask. Thus, an iptables mask of 24 is equivalent to 255.255.255.0. A "!" argument before the address specification inverts the sense of the address. The flag --src is an alias for this option. Multiple addresses can be specified, but this will expand to multiple rules (when adding with -A), or will cause multiple rules to be deleted (with -D).

I remember iptables announced it would redo the parsing logic for the 
command line interfaces ages ago, where the negation needed to happen 
before the "rule parameter" (-s in this case).  It's probably closer to 
8-10 years since this change, unless my memory is completely corrupted.

This change makes sense to me.  The syntax changed ages ago for 
iptables, where the negation needed to happen first.
