The world has room for multiple philosophies, and that's a good thing. I happen to prefer PEP20 to TMTOWTDI, and Python to Perl, as might be expected. I wasn't trying to say that there should only be one programming language, and I don't think it follows from the statement I quoted. I take it more like this: You use the correct tool for the job, and if there are inferior tools then just get rid of them. In the context of the discussion, I happen to think that one packet filter/firewall in an OS is the correct number, unless each has significantly different uses. Such is not the case in FreeBSD.
