I think you are misinterpreting some data, as well as making some 
assumptions that I don't think are correct.

By the way, I have an RSX system publicly on the internet, and it's 
totally without firewalls, and on 24/7. Mainly to actually harden it.
But it's basically running stable without any issues since many years.

So much for "hostile environment" being such a big problem. (Although I 
should admit that I don't have some of the fancy services that are easy 
to exploit...)
