Dropping tcp_wrappers support
Due to upstream not having released a new version since April 1997, we are dropping `tcp_wrappers` support from all packages and removing the package from `[core]`. In addition, newer daemons and applications are inconsistent in their support for libwrap, leading to confusion as to whether an application supports the library.
If you currently use `/etc/hosts.allow` or `/etc/hosts.deny` for security or logging purposes, you will need to adjust accordingly and use another tool such as `iptables`.
Why has this been announced since it hasnt happened yet? Isn't that the point of news? Announce something thats taken place. But this is still in testing which isnt a news worthy place.
