Doc Text:
.The `firewalld` now supports the startup failsafe mechanism With this enhancement, `firewalld` will fall back to failsafe defaults in case of a startup failure. This feature protects the host in case of invalid configurations or other startup issues. As a result, even if the user configuration is invalid, hosts running `firewalld` are now startup failsafe.

Description Eric Garver 2022-04-21 13:32:33 UTC
Firewalld upstream has added a startup failsafe to protect the host in case an invalid configuration prevents a clean start. This also catches firewall backend failures.
