I think that's discounting the user cost, of having something actively
getting in your way of accomplishing tasks, and we have no real good way
of helping the user get it out of their way.
The argument of default firewall or not would probably quiet down quite
a bit if we had any sort of decent UI to help users get the firewall out
of their way when they're really trying to do something.
I tried several times to use system-config-firewall-tui - usability
disaster. I prefer to edit sysconfig/iptables ;)
