So when some innocent-looking guy is sitting in the café with a
smartphone posing as an access point with an SSID of "MyHomeNet", will
your Fedora laptop connect to it, switch to the Home zone, and assume
that everybody on that network is friendly?
Does not matter if the firewall rules become complex enough no one will
ever audit them and they become the malware-ridden black-boxes common in
windows environments.
(though systemd and gnome3 are taking the 'pile of overengineered rules no
one checks' route fast)
