This seems to be a common theme with cloud images. I believe the assumption is that each cloud has its own Access Control policies that serve the function of a firewall.

I always end up building my own cloud images with a firewall, partly for this reason.

I would tend to agree that Fedora Core OS should have a firewall, if only to well-define which ports are required; but I have not been active there.
