Surely we realize that this discussion is not concerning the oft
repeated "Internet's Firewall" debate.
Its about containing a potential worm/virus outbreak. Call it a network
wide quarantine.
The damages inflicted by worms/viruses in the past that we have all seen

This is network self preservation. Otherwise the garbage will eventually
suffocate us all.
