changes the situation of malicious code. _Today_ as Fedora exists out of
the box, a malicious program can enable UPnP on a router that has it
enabled. All we're talking about is using that facility as it was meant
to be used, by _trusted_ application like the bit torrent client supplied
with the distribution.
And here I thought we were discussing the merrits of having the bt
client default to upnp enabled. I would rather it be disabled, and let
the user decide to use risky features. Secure by default.
