E.g. placing something like | start on starting local | respawn | exec /sbin/busybox tcpsvd 0 1234 /usr/bin/git-daemon ... into /etc/event.d/git-daemon provides an alternative way to invoke git-daemon and it's not more work than editing the xinetd setup. Keeping stuff configurable and do not require stuff which is not needed for core functionality is a good thing...
