I'd have to say I support Brian's judgement here, although on 
reflection I think that leaving the code #idfef'ed out is a bad idea, 
as it exposes it to potential unchecked rot.  By all means leave the 
service disabled in the standard inetd.conf and make it possible to 
elide it (along with the other internal services) if required.
