In a presentation I have heard at least one well known firewall vendor say
"sure it lets in attacks, but that's what you have an IDS for". Its not a
good sign to have a firewall vendor that doesn't care about security.

I've heard this a lot of times. This means that marketing people from
IDS vendors have done a good job at convincing people their product
