In an ideal world we would use systemd for traditional xinetd stuff, but
being diplomatic, I think we should wait until after mga2 for that. Sure
there is arguably additional overhead of running xinetd but while we
support both systemd and sysvinit, xinetd serves a purpose. I propose
that we should ultimately deprecated xinted in mga3, but that discussion
can happen later.
