In the link you provide above you do see...

"The actual static firewall model with system-config-firewall and lokkit will 
still be available and usable, but not at the same time as the daemon is 
running. The user or admin can decide which firewall solution should be used by 
enabling the corresponding services."

FWIW, even firewalld does use "iptables", just in a manner which allows dynamic 
changes without having to unload/reload kernel modules.
