I would say the same, but a todo list isn't a to-done list, so keep that in mind. He also pointed out that I got little to no feedback when I asked about this both a year and six months ago, so expectations are pretty low this time around. I'm sure if there were serious objections people would raise them and we could address them.
This is worthy of a news article once we move packages to core only because it could expose some services people didn't previously expect to need to protect.

As far as feedback goes, I have used tcp-wrappers a great deal in the past, but not for many years. And the fact that it needs to be so heavily patched suggests that we should not be using it anyway. I agree that we should not have to maintain it anymore, it is an outdated security system that usually gets in the way, and Arch is the only distro I use that turns it on by default. +1
