no, in other words he told you that whe world is not turning around
a few people deperecating anything which does not get a update for
the sake of a update and what some people calling "legacy" might
be things not needing updates because they just works and update
and replace/drop for the sake of a change does not make things
better for no good reason
the author of tcpwrapper is Wietse Venema, the perosn who created
and maintains postfix - frankly if only 1% of the software out
So, you do realise that the same Wietse Venema who wrote and then
stopped maintaining tcpwrappers is the one who didn't add *any*
tcpwrappers support to Postfix? To this day Postfix doesn't do
tcpwrappers. Probably for a good reason, don't you think?
most of the replacements in the last few years could have been
becakward compatible if the developers would not be too lazy
to care about
Wietse is such a lazy person that he didn't had hosts.allow/.deny
compatibility support to Postfix, isn't he?
