Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:3 brade]:
 > I feel pretty strongly that we should NOT add firewall options to the
 startup experience. Presenting it during startup will lead to many user
 support problems. See ticket #11405.

 I agree. What speaks against removing that option from the network
 settings dialog too, then?
