Firewall rules are not like system files or definitions for AVs. They don't become obsolete or ineffective with age. The internet still works the same way it did when he released that ruleset. Same address system, same basic protocols, ports, DNS system, etc. There's nothing there that can really be updated. A properly finished ruleset for Kerio 2.1.5 will continue to be effective until IPv6 is fully implemented at which time Kerio will be obsolete.

The BZ ruleset should be treated as a starting point for the users set. It still needs editing to match your own system/network and internet service. Loopback rules should be made specific to the needs of your system. It doesn't include rules for applications. To properly finish the ruleset, the user does need a basic understanding of how the internet works, the address system, what the basic protocols are, port numbers. Once a user has that basic knowlege, he/she doesn't need BZs ruleset because they can make their own set that matches their setup perfectly.
