It's a pity though that nobody in Fedora is actively working on getting rid of legacy cruft. I really wished we had some people who oversee deprecating things more proactively, figure out how to deprecate things, write stub code to provide smooth transitions, write release notes and so on.
Those people get tired having to constantly fight things through the bureaucracy and downstream distribution and it's clone too.
Being at the bleeding edge of things also means deciding that some things really should go, from time to time... Besides deprecating old cruft like libwrap, this would also mean removing all the old crap from comps "standard" that we still install by default (894110)...
For the record Fedora is not a bleeding edge distro anymore or first in anything.
The distribution that is and has been for quite sometime is Arch but I'm pretty sure you already knew that.
