if RH is going to be turning the default firewall off.

Not Red Hat, Fedora. And it's not off by default either. It's disabled
for user applications, not root ones

and that is a problem

"user applications" can be any bad code executed by the user start listening on the WAN - guess what is more likely

* get a rootkit opening privileged ports
* execute code by a careless user

mircosoft has learned their lessons after WinXP SP2 and Fedora goes the opposite direction which is very sad
