Concur 100%.  Also note that firewalls don't provide any sort of useful DDoS protection, marketing claims aside, so 
reaction tools such as S/RTBH, et. al. are required to protect stateful firewalls in front of client access LANs, and 
everything behind said stateful firewalls, from DDoS.

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.
