Xinetd, VNC, and TFTP

Hi All,
Since the new-ish (6 and 7) guides indicate that xinetd should be disabled,
what is the preferred method for running VNC and TFTP sessions to a host?
The tftp-server package installs the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file but could
certainly drop an init script/systemd script with associated sysconfig file.
The VNC one is a bit more difficult since it gets difficult to have dynamic
SSH-based terminals without something like xinetd (or, again, a highly
configurable init script).
I know this falls under the "if you need it, use it" category but I was
wondering if there were 'more compliant' alternatives that didn't involve
epic amounts of work and/or maintenance and that stuck within the RHEL
software stack.
Thanks,
Trevor
