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.
Well, without access to Bastien's TV, home directory and router it's a
bit difficult. Or is that the point?
I haven't used rygel, is there any reason to believe difficulty doing
this is not a problem with rygel in F20?
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.
"This isn't quite as bad as that other thing." Isn't the most
persuasive argument, and in some cases it is worse (at least a user
who's disabled the firewall knows they've done so).
