I hear you Johnny, I'm a big RH fan, but there is several things that
they have shifted to in RHEL 7 that just chafes a little.
I am dual hat guy, network and IS and when iptables with firewalld, at
a minimum I would like the ability to be able to accomplish the same
things I accomplished with iptables. I read about firewalld the pros
and cons and I understand the shift and reason.
But I do have heartburn when they call something a "firewall" and you
cannot drop all the packets. It's not like they didn't know about it
since I read about it in fedora and it's not clear if it will be
addressed. There are lots of use cases where I want to control all of
the packets coming and going from a box, I see this becoming more so
moving forward.
Hopefully this will be addressed in a future release, trying to figure
out where I can go to now and keep up to date with the latest
firewalld info, just to stay clued in.
