There's no need to write "a new style of firewall". It would be as easy as asking the user once whether a new connection is trusted or not. That's it. Users would be one click away of the same functionality they have now in trusted networks (everything just works) and would be otherwise protected in untrusted networks. Network zones was one huge step towards a great trade-off between usability and security. Opening almost all ports by default is two steps backwards.
