The difference is that if someone compromises/brute-forces one of my ssh ke=
ys, he has something of value. =20
OTOH, if he can find my host and send some packets to it, since I've done a=
ll the host OS/app/service BCPs, plus I'm enforcing policy via stateless AC=
Ls in hardware-based routers/switches and tcpwrappers on my host, so what? =
I could care less.

Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid, with millions
of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but
just done by brute force and thousands of slaves.
