"firewall-config is the main configuration tool"

It  also  says  "is"...  but in spite of the use of the present tense,

Negative.

I speculate many or most people disable firewalld. This was an explicit 
recommendation during Virtualization Test Day. So it's not just the config tool 
that isn't getting as much testing as it otherwise would. For the LiveCD, it 
needs to be a GUI configurable, and work, because firewalld is enabled by 
default.

I am working with libvirt upstream to get firewalld support in libvirt.
There are patches for firewalld support in libvirt, but without firewalld reload support. The dbus code is not working corrytly in libvirt, currently.

If reversion is going to occur back to iptables and its Firewall tool, slipping 
that in a final RC seems risky. That combo hasn't been tested since early 
alpha. And in effect neither firewall package is getting nearly as much testing 
before final.

I feel that firewalld's updated man pages and GUI config tool need to appear by 
final TC1, or reversion should occur.

The man pages and more documentation will be released in a new package this week. firewall-config will not be finished before F-17 GOLD.
