sshd appears to not be consulting /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny for access control, is this a known issue?

[Brian Buhrow]

        Under NetBSD-10.99.12 (sources as of November 21, 2024), sshd(8) 
appears not to be
consulting the /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files when deciding whether 
to offer a
banner to incoming connections.  A check with ldd against /usr/sbin/sshd and
/usr/lib/libssh.so.48.0 shows that libwrap.so isn't needed by either of these 
files.
Is this an intentional change and, if it is, where can I find it documented?
-thanks
