I, for one, and thankful that they're blocking those ports. The mitigating effects that the blocked ports have on the spread of viruses and spam far outweigh the benefits that a few hobbyists gain from running their own servers. Sorry if this upsets the do-it-yourselfers, but you're buying a managed home service, not an uptime-guaranteed service anyway. If you want to self-host, there are plenty of colocation businesses around, or you can spring for a business-class connection. Or you can run a non-standard port for your personal site.
