> OK, so I did an upgrade to 21. I can live with it, now that I know about the change. Not that I would have known about it had I only read Fedora 21 release notes.

It is mentioned at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/21/html/Releas... .

Note also that if you have previously associated a particular firewall zone with your network connections, then those settings will be carried across the upgrade. The new zones are only used for connections that have not had a specific zone set.

In my opinion there is a bug here. The firewalld-config-workstation package (and the corresponding packages for the other Fedora products) will not replace your firewalld.conf, and hence this default zone, upon package upgrades... but the firewalld-config-workstation package is *new*, which means it's not being treated as an upgrade.

Thanks, I must have looked in the wrong sections.
