I don't think so. Again, only if someone has modified a standard
filter would they have to make those same modifications to the
new set. The default value wouldn't need to change, but they are
all ending with "-j DROP" otherwise.
What if they have created their own custom filters and written their
filter on the assumption that the default policy was ACCEPT ? Surely
this change will break their filter ?
