The way it reads, it would appear that Fedora has created a new firewall when in fact we have just made the existing firewall more user friendly and easier to maintain. It's an important distinction. If people think we are doing something different on the back-end then they want to know what it is and if it's secure and tested. I think Fedora gets more points for providing better functionality to an existing product.
