This is exactly what I was alluding to upthread with "developers are a
large target audience, in particular for Workstation"

They're clearly safer with FedoraWorkstation zone (default) enabled
than with the firewall disabled. I can't estimate how much safer.

I definitely do not want to pester developers, or make their day to
day life difficult. If there's no satisfactory GUI right now to manage
it, it's difficult to even experiment with different policies. The
original firewalld proposal considered the graphical tool the main way
of interacting with the firewall, and it was the cli tool that came
later, yet as far as I recall, Workstation never shipped with this GUI
tool.
