Ubuntu hardy introduces a new firewall ufw (Uncomplicated Firewall).
It's a tool for host-based iptables firewall configuration. This tool should provide an easy to use interface to the user, as well as support package integration and dynamic-detection of open ports.

It strikes me that this can make a good high level solution for configuring iptables on arch. It's very similar to the way network is set up with ethtool. What is your thoughts on this? I'm actually asking if this would be a solution that could be implemented to arch core, not to forget that it will be highly maintained, thus reduce the work for the arch team.

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  But may be added to Extra in future *if* it becomes really popular.

IMO yet another "wheel invention" from Ubuntu, though pretty interesting comparing to other iptables generators.
I engourage you to create a package for it in AUR and if it will become popular - it may be moved to Community or even Extra,
but a tool of this type doesn't fit in Core package set.
