    Can't UPnP be used also for opening ports in iptables firewall
    (maybe developing some tools for that)?

Upnp is almost always abused. Please don't use it.

              Whoa, the fact that the Firewall is on by default in
              Fedora (along

              with SELinux) is one of the reasons I choose Fedora over
              alternatives.

            Same thing here, It was really surprising to see it as
              a proposed feature.

              How can it be that after years we are disabling the
              firewall by default?

            I personally find it a big, big step
              backwards.

            Instead of disabiling it, wouldn't be a
              better approach to have a more relaxed firewall policy for
              the workstation product that opens the additional ports
              for DAAP, UPnp, etc.?
