no; you can use it with every inetd like program. 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...
