well, say, yet another a*hole^Wperson walks in and says they deploy a
new application, maybe it is not so bad per se so it should not be
banned, but changing firewall rulesets to make it pass and blocking
everything else that may sneak along may take some time requiring
excessive ruleset changes (hey guys, does your sh*t still work when
i block THIS?)

Indeed; if your firewall rulesets change so often that you find it
onerous to walk down the hall to the console, then your firewall
ruleset is changing too often, which probably means you are
already in a state of screwed.
