This is silly.
Cable modem poeple with Nazi providers are a minority. Even here in LA
where the Cable providers don't allow services to be running don't do
scans. It time consumming and it just helps you piss off your customers
(or have less). Most just firewall off common ports. Simple.
Nazi providers are a small minority. So it is silly to screw over an
entire distro for 1% of users.
