But of course leave the config file, so if you really want some other firewall config, or are setting up a machine whose purpose is to be a firewall, rather than to be firewalled, you can create that config.

Havoc,
Are you talking generically with that last sentence or is this in the works? i.e. http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/config-tools/ states a number of tools "that would be useful but do not exist yet". For example it lists: "Firewall - configuration tool for IP Tables (something more finegrained than redhat-config-securitylevel)" What's the status on this tool and other tools listed there? One tool that isn't listed that would be useful is a Mail server tool - could take some of the complexity out of setting up Sendmail/Postfix (esp. Sendmail). I suppose it's lack of RH developer interest/time?
