Honestly, if I had some sort of large pull in the Ubuntu project, I would have 
tried to delay a Ubuntu release indefinitely until such a tool appears. This 
is a major failing of desktop distros as a whole, and is a usability problem.

Its hard to tout Linux as secure if you can't easily manage your firewall.
