There are those who still use it as a wrapper for other services... such at identd (auth) or even finger As far as removing it from sources.. you could try to "pull a freebsd source developers leg" but I assume you wont get very far.. The Fed-Ex metaphor is interesting but not really relevent to all services wrapped in inetd..
