Out of habit, IDK...but being able to use it out of the box without installing
anything else on a base LFS seems somewhat compelling to me. Please note that I
do not do this myself, just playing devil's advocate here. It just seems a
little bit silly to ditch those packages completely when it is a relatively
easy fix. Maybe just add a note and point to wiki instructions if nothing else
until upstream blesses us with a working solution. Of course, we no longer have
to keep {,x}inetd instructions in mind when configuring a package. Couple of
boot scripts might have to be added, swat w/ stunnel for instance.
