and that is the point - you do not want and care because you seem to think users are too stupid to make their own decisions - you know what Linus said to that in direction of GNOME?
This was one of the options when implementing the feature, one that we didn't pursue. We chose instead to use "user intent" as a way to do this. If you start sharing something on a network, then we consider it safe to share.
the problem is that you don't know *who* or *what* opened the port
If you connect to a public unencrypted Wi-Fi, you won't have the option to. If you connect to an encrypted Wi-Fi where sharing your holiday photos isn't acceptable then it won't, because you didn't ask it to in the first place
besides suspend / move machinea sane firewall design (sadly Windows has that in the meantime) is that if i open a port in my homenetwork, supsend the machine and wake it up in a foreign network ports are closed until i decide to open them there too, but Fedora goes the easy way "who cares how and why as long things appear to work"
*who* told you that people don't share things *unintentional* by a wrong click which is *not* a problem until you decide to open ports
