Please consider the security aspect of this. This is a critical vulnerability. Please, don't make us look like the Linux Mint folks. If Workstation is to be a viable product, especially if it's going to be advertised prominently, as the primary download for Fedora, this needs to be fixed.

Can you point to any other major (serious) desktop Linux distro that ships with a restrictive firewall configuration?

The main competitor of Fedora Workstation is Ubuntu. Ubuntu ships without a firewall enabled and nobody considers this a critical vulnerability. Now: why is that...?
