Security policies aren't related to the firewall, though they may include

I must disagree, as it does stand up to scrutiny.

That's fantastic, and that's why we want to work with the WG to fix this issue 
with the product. We all want to make things better for the community.

Unfortunately, that doesn't change the security concerns with having a wide 
open firewall by default.
