yes, i know.. that's the reason of the new subject, and the idea behind
the rest of the paragraphs. i think that this kind of config options
must be active by default (not listen outside connections, servers not
being activated unless explicit confirmation, etc).
but this is my opinion, related to someone who said in these threads
that Debian is secure by default. it's not; and this is off-topic, btw

i agree. well, i really *don't know* if FW-tools are "nonsensical".
and i want to clarify, this has nothing to do with AJ, but with the
current release procedures. i agree with Philip Charles, as i said in my
previous message: the release manager must be familiar with the flavour,
and i think the simplest way is having independent releases.
