Why did you replace VMX30 with vCenter settings? What if I don't use vCenter?

By the way there is typo in doc: "Replaced by vcenter-restrict-guest-control". I think should be "Replaced by vCenter restrict-guest-control"

ESXi sheet: "configure-firewall-access" should be "config-firewall-access"

Network sheet: I cannot find "label-pvlans" option in  vSphere 5.0 Hardening Guide Public Draft. Option is mentioned as a new.
