Users of iptables are used to handling rules loaded from e.g. a file saved by
iptables-save and
managed by their own simple scripts. This is probably no longer possible.
iptables --list is listing the rules as they always have been listed, but they cannot be
found
in /etc/sysconfig.
How about this simple addition to the firewalld man page:
The firewalld configuration is loaded from XML-files in /etc/firewalld. Predefined rules
files
can be found in /usr/lib/firewalld

This fact is not obvious for a new user, but just specifying this is creating a framework
for
the user and improving the understanding very much. I had to spend much time to
understand this
simple fact.

Basic information should be in the man pages and not via a chain of URLs not easily read
from a
command line on a computer possibly not connected to the Internet (yet).
I added the wiki URL to firewalld and firewall-cmd man pages.
I'll think more about if and what examples should we put into
firewall-cmd man page.
