Many moons ago, support for TCP wrappers was removed from systemd -- and, a bit later, OpenSSH, IIRC.
connection filtering should be done in network level or completely in application scope if it makes sense.
So it was done at the application scope, with a common config file format, and then it was deprecated because it should be done at the application scope? I can barely make sense of this logic they are applying.
The only place it wasn't done at the application scope (baring an invocation wrapper that handled it for applications that didn't directly support tcpwrappers on its own listeners) was in systemd, because systemd isn't the end application, so if the logic is that it should be in the application scope, systemd is the only place it should have been removed from.
