The biggest problem with this entire idea is that it wont work for users by default, because our default security configuration will block incoming connections, and more users these days are behind NAT.
Users behind NAT isn't a Fedora problem. They need to port forward the BT ports - but that can go on something like fedorafaq.org (or whatever it is).
Firewall is a problem. A nice gui like firestarter (not necessarily firestarter, but something like it) for configuring the Fedora Firewall would be nice - with common app/port selections so users don't necessarily have to care what port ranges are used for what (unless they want to meddle with the defaults)
until I decided to go with Linksys for my router, firestarter is what I used for NAT - it has a really nice interface for controlling what ports are allowed in etc.
