I agree, except for one small problem.  Don't you still have to delete
ALL the filter rules, and reenter them ALL to change the order of the
rules? last I checked there was no "insert before", "insert at top" sort
of options.  Just "insert at end".  This and other features can really
slow down the otherwise decent CLI.

Another bad thing about the PIX CLI is that is looks a lot like the IOS CLI,
but has lots of subtle differences that will byte you when you least expect
it.
