I don't know why the PR was closed this way, but given that the bug
report is simply a statement of a fact, without saying why you
consider this fact to be a bug, or any other justification for wanting
the change, closing it as "works as intended" seems like a perfectly
reasonable response.

If you had explained *why* you wanted that changed, and provide some
justification for doing so (i.e. - point out that no inetd compliant
program, so the default config of the port won't run on the default
config of FreeBSD), you might have gotten a different response.

Of course, that kind of discussion isn't really appropriate for a PR,
since it's really a feature request. As such it deserves a bit of work
finding out why it's that way to begin with. All of is covered in the
problem-reports document already mentioned in this thread:
