No it is the other way around. The flood of new protocols leads to the point
that the firewall vendors are not able to keep track and provide "secure"
proxies for most of the protcols. They merly are able to rename their plug
GW and use it for marketing "we support protocol X". Therefore a packet
filter is not much less security.
