Hello,

the features firewalld-default and network-zones will be postponed for 
Fedora-17. The features are not ready yet and also the integration into 
other projects. The network zone backend in NetworkManager is making 
progress, but the front ends are not done yet.

Without the front ends (nm-applet, gnome-shell, kdenetworkmanager) the 
features are not usable and firewalld as the default firewall solution 
does not make sense either. The firewalld zone code will be integrated 
into firewalld shortly, but will be deactivated by default. This needs 
some more work also. The NetworkManager zone code will be sent upstream 
to initiate the integration process.

Thanks in advance,
Thomas Wörner
