No. systemd is not a firewall. It currently supports libwrap checks for socket activated services. And I'd really like to get rid of that... I have no doubt that some people use them, however I am also pretty sure that they are massively awful, and not worth the trouble, and that I'd prefer not to see this crap in the default install. However, since the library is currently hooked into a lot of services (starting with systemd itself) I currently cannot do "rpm -e". I mean, I really don't mind that tcpd/tcpwrap stays in the archives, if people want to make use of that. I am simply proposing to not link agains them anymore for everything that is in the default system.
