I get that hosts.deny not doing anything after updating is a nasty surprise
(mentioning this in the release notes certainly makes sense) but ... is
bringing tcp-wrappers-support back (especially as default) the correct
solution here?
The dependencies for this feature have been described as 'poor quality
abandonware' years ago already, and there are certainly other ways to limit
access.... Is there a use case where ssh+tcpwrappers is so crucial that it
warrants going against upstream opinion on security?
