So unless anyone opposed to the firewall configuration change actually
attempts this exercise, and comes up with a working alternative solution
to the problem, I'm not sure there's much point in continuing the
discussion.

We are concerned with practical security -- keeping the user safe by
anticipating the user's typical response to situations. But if you think
the firewall configuration GUI in F20 existed for any purpose other than
to completely disable the firewall, please take a reality check.
