Perhaps I misread the original comment - but it was the suggestion of having avahi running by default.
Do you mean having that be the case from the livecd or from the package itself.
If the former, then you're right it's a side issue. I thought the latter was being discussed which is why I brought up that report.
I think both are being discussed somewhat. It'd be nice to do it everywhere, so that the regular install does match somewhat the livecd case, but as a fallback, just doing it on the livecd is less contentious. I'd certainly like to see it on the livecd, and then I'd also like to see us work toward having it on regular installs too, in a way that will keep most parties happy.
I don't know if this is related to Avahi or not, but with the default firewall rules I can't see my friend's printers shared via his Mac system. As soon as I turn off the firewall, the printers show up in the GNOME printing dialog. It would be nice if this just worked correctly out-of-the-box and in the LiveCD case without needing to fiddle with firewall rules.
This isn't the only thing that doesn't work by default, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Desktop/Whiteboards/Firewall
Opening up avahi's port is a first step, having better firewall support in applications is something I'm discussing with a few people (including the system-config-firewall maintainer).

SELinux needs to understand any changes you are making also. We need to be very careful with these changes.
