Re: mpd package features for Fedora 21
The command `firewall-cmd --add-service-mpd` would add the service to
whichever zone is default and whatever interfaces are in that zone. This is
user-configurable as more options can be appended to the `firewall-cmd`
command to constrain the application to only desired zones/interfaces. That
was just an example of potential usage.

and how is that different by just open the port?
"firewall-cmd --add-service mpd" would open the port on *which* interface
here: WAN, LAN, VPN, eveywhere?
everywhere? stupid idea!
Perhaps this message belongs on the development mailing list.
