Justifications like this for shoddy work will always bite back
eventually.
Why set up relay prevention in what is currently a protected
environment? Because it'll teach him how to. Because if anything bad
ever happens to this system he'll be protected. Because it's so much
easier to do this now and never worry about any problems in the
future. Because for the (minor) protection it offers now and the
(major) protection it offers in the ISDN/xDSL/Cable
modem/whatever-to-the-home technology of tomorrow, it has no
significant cost.
