In my first two computer jobs characters had 9 bits; now characters have
just 8. Bits do go missing :-)

What is to stop a volunteer making a version for each Centos release ?
and then putting it in a public repository ?   The only difficulty I
foresee is lack of modern (for RHEL/Centos 8) compilation libraries.

I do not influence Red Hat's decisions. Perhaps it would help if a
volunteer maintainer emerged as the new TCP Wrappers champion ?
