That may very well be, but if you have a firewall and/or NAT device,  
NOT having something that can punch holes means you pretty much never  
get to talk to anyone else in the same situation, so no peer to peer  
applications, IM, voice/video chat... So either kill the firewall or  
live with the complexity.
