In my books this fails QA bigtime and poses a MAJOR security risk for 
the end user(s).
Either a respins with this *feature* needs to be done or a 
reintroduction of Desktop/Server install
with the server install enabling this feature..

It's good that some one in QA board can contact Fedora Security team and 
get their input on this issue.

Are we targeting Desktop/Home user or not?

If so then we have to make it hard for them to accidentally  shoot them 
self in foot security wize...

I mean a noob user accidentally turned of his firewall during install 
with the current default installation options leaves 
him open to how many security risks?  ( none is the right answer )...

I'm gonna reopen this mark Anaconda as FAILED_QA  then after this has 
had a proper discussion
with input from Fedora-Security-Team a QA board member can CLOSE this or 
it will be FIXED.

Best regards.
