Certain pages in our documentation, like https://docs.securedrop.org/en/stable/minimum_security_requirements.html, currently do not make it clear whether a requirement must be followed for a SecureDrop installation, or whether it is a recommendation. It would be good to use RFC 2119 language here, and tie these requirements more explicitly to, e.g., SD support and directory inclusion.

The section on abstract firewall configuration is a good candidate for this language, to differentiate conveniences (to the administrator and the rest of the network) from critical security properties (to SecureDrop). @eloquence, would you like me to take a stab at this as a demonstration?

That makes sense to me, I defer to Kev on relative prioritization :)
