NO ! It's maddening, code vandals periodicaly wanting to delete working code
& pontificating what others globaly should be denied, & forced to do & not do.

One example why FreeBSD should not delete rlogin & telnet etc
  3 days ago, a host with broken sshd (bad shared libs version
  number), was rescued by ssh to trusted parent host, then rlogin
  from that parent host to underlying jail.

3rd party code vandals are Not fit to decide what code should be
denied globaly in other peoples' environments. By all means leave off by
default in /etc/inetd.conf as now, but do Not Vandal Delete !

BSD is not Microsoft replete with masses of clueless users.  BSD
includes skilled users who may wish to make their own risk assessments,
without interference.


Cheers,
Julian
