Should Trisquel add a firewall by default

Since port 22(ssh), 445/139 (Samba) are listening on all interfaces and started up by default, shouldn't Trisquel add a firewall and turn it on by default? I know I can easily stop the services, but this is a security issue for new Linux users who just move from Windows to Linux. I know Ubuntu does not do it by default, but that does not mean Trisquel should do the same thing. Mind does have a firewall, but sadly it is not on by default.
agreed.
Trisquel should turn it on.
Yes, agree. Would be helpful if the firewall was turned on by default.
I personally think a far superior solution would be to remove such servers. Most of your 'average users' will never use them. And for power users their install should not prove an insurmountable challenge.
