Statefulness is sometimes the preferred way for dealing with certain class of problems. TCP itself is stateful because the benefits outweigh the complexity issues. The right solution is to remove those people who would abuse their access to the net. Failing that, we use the RIGHT tools to fix the problems -- and unfortunately a stateful protection system works better than any other scheme. Of course, if you really want performance and reliability, just unplug your computer from all networks. That is the best and safest course.
