You do realise that in "corporate world" that's more than 80% of network admins ? Some of them even make it to "audit" 
companies, so they can screw a company with clueful admins with their "mandatory reccomandations".

ICMP is NOT optional.

Can we make a short rule that says: For ICMP, *ALLOW* *ALL* unless you do have a very specific and motivated reason to 
block some types.
I would even go as far as "allow all icmp from any to any" (and if possible as the first firewall rule), but I do 
understand that may make some people have hives.
