IMHO I think UPnP is dangerous beast... Because of the way on how is 
made some M$ thingies uPnP can whole open a firewall and make it useless...

uPnP has been done for lame users that don't know what firewall / nat 
is, m0n0 is for people that want to rely on efficient system (same as 
pfsense tooo...).

But this is my point of vue, but I dunno if m0n0 or pfSence developpers 
wants to add or not this dangerous thing.... :p
