Right. One of the things I haven't copied from the Oracle work was putting
tcpwrappers back in. I am still considering whether it might be worth
bringing this back for us for a little while give people time to transition.
The release is Thursday, so there's some time to discuss this still.

The NetBSD guys have already ported the HPN patch set forwards onto 7.1,
which I did have a trial run with and it seems like they apply and work.
They have made merge mistakes in the past though when forward-porting the
HPN set, and I haven't yet had time to sit down and audit the diff carefully
enough to be satisfied with it.

I'd consider bringing this in later, perhaps plus/minus consideration for
the fact that it introduces new configuration options. If we add it we will
need to retain config compatibility for those options for a very long time
(especially if they appear in the default config, eg HpnDisabled), which is
worth careful thought.
