oh yeah, let us open some more ports as default to increase security especially for servcies like avahi which *can't* be disabled if you tend to look in the syslog which get cluttered if you mask it god save "iptables.service" such decisions are *plain wrong* someone can consider a desktop-firewall like on windows (not that i ever would use it) which *asks* at the first incoming connection - and before this is not possible it is *plain wrong* to open whatever port because it could be useful for someobody a fresh install should *never* have *any* port opened the is no "but" and no "if" - period and no i am not speaking for me - because i know what i am doing in context of networking - most users do not
