I think this depends very much on vendor, vendor being who packaged Linux (SuSE, RedHat, Debian, e.t.c.), vendor being Symantec, Nokia, Cisco e.t.c. I usually do not take it for granted that *most* firewalls are 'block_all_by_default', which is why I will usually rewrite the rule(s) and enforce that.
