Well, I'd expect a firewall to filter traffic, actually.  It's more
alarming that a couple of packets can slip through, as the Trac ticket
#5640 shows.

I'm not sure that less security by default is a good idea.  Especially
via changing a long time Linux default.  If you don't want a firewall,
why install and start it?
