Well, to a rank newbie to these sorts of things, systemd and firewalld 
are no more complicated than upstart with manual iptables rules or 
SysVInit with ipchains rules (true SysVInit, not the upstart emulation 
found in EL6).  Really; to the beginner systemd is not any more 
complicated than the morass of rc files in /etc/init.d and friends.
