Please don't remove it. Why  this sudden idea in software circles that
stuff that works properly needs to be removed for no reason whatsoever
other than "it's old and we think nobody uses it". How do you know?. IF IT
AIN'T BROKEN, DON'T FIX IT. You might have heard of it.

Fail2ban is one piece of software which interfaces with tcp wrappers.
v0.9.0 just out
