If we are expected to switch to firewalld we need to understand in detail how it works. So far I see a GUI and empty XML files with little information about how to do anything other than run firewall-cmd to add or delete specific rules.
This really needs documentation so we can understand how it works and maybe compare situations with iptables that we are to migrate from so that we all do not have to figure this out from scratch. I'm not really complaining, just think we need more information so we can move forward and hopefully not make mistakes. Thanks for the help.
I just looked at this a few minutes ago. The docs (such as they are) are in the fedoraproject Wiki. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FirewallD/

The wiki is good for the most part, but critically, documentation regarding masquerading is absent. Given that "NAT" is never "straight forwards" this should have some detailed documentation added. Otherwise, I think it's quite complete on that wiki, and the man page.
