at the time people wanted to check it for a while to make
sure there weren't issues. I guess that given the option,
this satisfied both worlds, so nobody cared to change
the standard (the only reason for doing that would be
remove ipfw1 at the next time there is a system change
that would require an ipfw1 patch).
