[I hope the quoting is correct there, but it looks odd to me.
Apologies if it's wrong.]

And, they may be under court order to not discuss their vulnerabilities!

But seriously: I'd rather this work the same way other Fedora
installations work. I don't have to enable the firewall when I install
from DVDs, and I'd like the same thing to apply to cloud images.
Otherwise I need to modify my post-install scripts to always enable
the firewall (or maybe conditionally do it, which is worse).
