Security policies aren't related to the firewall, though they may include

everywhere.
Again, hyperbole, that cannot be taken seriously, because it does
not
withstand even a little bit of scrutiny.
I must disagree, as it does stand up to scrutiny.
I'm recently a member on the Workstation working group, I know
the
members on it. The reason why everyone is on it is because they care
very much about, and respect the community immensely, and demonstrate
it with deliberation and significant effort.
That's fantastic, and that's why we want to work with the WG to fix this issue
with the product. We all want to make things better for the community.
It's not good enough to just say things forcefully and expect
that
people will agree as if you're a hammer, and they're a nail. You have
to work harder than you are working, if your goal really is to be
persuasive.
Unfortunately, that doesn't change the security concerns with having a wide
open firewall by default.
