    With the increasing focus on application layer attacks, the day
    of packet-filters even being termed "firewalls" is pretty much over.
    Packet filters were barely firewalls to begin with, but today, the
    fight's mostly up in Layer 7 where they have no value.

    Of course "we told you so" applies. ;)
