Today pacman surprised me after updating my system: turns out nothing on my installation depended on inetutils any more, so I removed it, even though it was there forever. The following reboot proceeded fine.
I'm curious if somebody knows which packages dropped it as a dependency lately.

Yeah, more generally people (especially Eli) are trying to remove the use of hostname, so that inetutils becomes uneeded more and more (unless you actually require one of the other tools).
