and where's that?       how could a default rule know the difference 
between 'outside' and 'inside' without knowing specifics about your 
LAN/WAN configuration ...    many of my linux systems are in coloc 
centers where the LAN is unprotected, its public internet delivered 
directly to the server, and SSH is the only way I access the servers to 
manage them.    yet others are on a corporate WAN which has many 
subnets, in neither of these cases would a default rule in SSH access be 
appropriate.
