(In reply to Sevan Janiyan from comment #2)

In https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=3Drevision&revision=3D83482 I see n=
othing
about inetd(8).

This feature was committed 15 years ago and since than nobody complained.=
=20=20

There is a non-zero probability that people are using this particular featu=
re
in their scripts and removing it will break backward compatibility with no
particular reason.

Unix world utilities historically have a lot of overlapping functionality. =
 So
far it works more or less ok.

Also

> a utility that is intended to concatenate files=20

But unix socket is a file.

--=20
