Geen onzin :-)
Who is developing the software's functionality ?
There is no current maintainer. Inevitably software may need
alterations, even small alterations, but without a volunteer maintainer
how can those alterations be done uniformly to all versions all over the
world ?
No one has stated the software is bad. The comments have been its old
and un-maintained. Old software does work well, so that is not an excuse
to kill-it-off. But without a maintainer who can add new functions and
repair any deficiencies (if they ever occur) what future has this
software realistically got ?
If TCP Wrappers "disappears" into oblivion after Centos/RHEL 7 finishes,
is that likely to create a problem ? Individuals can, I assume, still
compile it and use it with Centos.
