I'm participating in this discussion because, as a general rule, I assume most administrators configuring security, and most users in general, aren't idiots.  So, the fairly large number of assumed non-idiots using this functionality suggests, as a first approximation to truth, that it is useful, and it's the few of us that discuss removal of the feature that are wrong about the consequences of our actions.

... and this equally applies to all the programmers who wrote servers that don't call tcp_wrappers but provide similar DNS-based policy mechanisms.
