Why should the users be limited to what IT managers decide is good or bad?
Internet is build on dumb network, smart terminal. End-users are
suppose to be able to put up their own services, not just running some
apps. This has been the Internet principles and have serves us well so

No large production network can run this way. The end machines are
simply too vulnerable. Without firewally and service restriction,
you'll have your entire network compromised very quickly.
