Just to clarify: It was nmap_tcp_connect that was removed, *not* nmap_wrapper. The functionality provided by nmap_wrapper (namely nmap scans) still remains, it was just the inactive functionality provided by nmap_tcp_connect that had already be incorporated into nmap.nasl (according to chandra) and was now redundant there. This means no actual functionality was removed; unless we are planning on restoring the functionality provided by nmap_tcp_connect as a .c plugin, I would suggest that nmap_tcp_connect can safely be removed. Is this okay with you?
