Make sure to note that I'm convinced that the new firewall settings in
Fedora Workstation 21 are more secure than what was available in Fedora 20's
default settings.

If Reindl, Kevin or Tomas want to disagree with that, I'll give you a little
exercise:
Having just installed and updated my Fedora 20, I want to share a video in my
home directory using UPnP/DLNA to my TV, using rygel for example. Document the
steps necessary to achieve that

than solve the problem that we don't have a firewall like personal firewalls on windows decades ago which can react on events and *ask* the user instead burry your head in the sand and open all ports

that where times where windows did not have any firewall enabled

now windows has *and* can ask after MS realized that it is a terrible idea to come with a enduser OS without - frankly i feel somebody smile in Redmon when previously secure operating systems give that up not learning from the past

such events could be "hmm the machine is listening on a previous unknown port" - it does not exist - so what - invent a solution or accept until it exists that there is not much you can do *but* do not turn up all shields because a "oh i want to share a video and not know anything about a computer"
