At least you are consistent in not using every layer available to you. 
How about you be more consistent by advocating the non-use of iptables 
and the use of hardware firewall because iptables is non-standard too?

Or rather stop telling people not to use SELinux and iptables on this

too troublesome for you and your gang.
