Exactly my point. Why would you allow that to run on your computer, if you can avoid it? Although they say the holes were plugged, they were not. A couple of public examples with torrent streaming within the past few years. If you can avoid running UPNP you will be more secure.
Why change to random ports? A feature needs to have a point, an advantage, what is this ones?

+1 to this extremely handy feature.
Sailor24: the advantage, the point, is giving users the OPTION to use their programs to better fit their own needs and preferences. If such a feature is to be implemented it will be OPTIONAL, so you don't have to worry about it fi you're not interested on it.
