For professional sys-admins caught by this, I would completely agree.
But RH is also being sold to home users for home use, many of them
complete Linux/unix newbies, and who are increasingly attaching them to
DSL connections. So in my opinion, the default setup should be extremely
restrictive, with virtually all services disabled. The professionals and
more experienced Linux users should be capable of turning on the ones
they want.
