No, I don't allow world access to my Myth box.  Why?  Because it's 
obvious that security is not a prime objective in Myth.  I understand that.

That being said, I do think that as we move into an age where appliances 
have TCP stacks, we're going to regret not making these apps secure by 
design.

I do understand your point, though.
