IIRC, in the past discussion there was quite a lot of people arguing
that we actually need one. I personally don't think we as a
distribution need a drop-in replacement. However, what we possibly
need, is a migration path for already deployed systems using
tcp_wrappers. Just dropping tcp_wrappers and potentially leaving
deployed services completely open would very irresponsible.

Also we should consider an impact this change will have on our
downstreams focusing on enterprise use-cases (CentOS, RHEL). I recon
that "splash damage" potentially caused by this change will be bigger
there than in Fedora itself.
