Heya!
I wonder whether it wouldn't be time to say goodbye to tcpwrappers in
Fedora. There has been a request in systemd upstream to disable support
for it by default, but I am not sure I want to do that unless we can
maybe say goodbye to it for the big picture too.
To add to this old thread: OpenSSH has now also decided to drop tcpwrap.

Some of the posts in this thread are actually quite entertaining.
For example, the first call of hosts_access() is setjmp(), which is just
beautiful... We probably should make setjmp()-freeness a requirement for
all code included in Fedora.
