In my mind, this is THE biggest problem with almost all Script
Generators, whether from the command line or a GUI: if you make hand-
tuned changes, then they will be lost next time the generator runs.
I am continually tuning things - I don't want some generator
overwriting my changes for me.
This sort of thing could potentially be overcome by the script that
runs the generated firewall rules - but it shouldn't have to.
