19 Yes, please go ahead and make xinetd a global use flag. It is incorrect to
20 have several local use flags for the same purpose. In /etc/xinetd.d only a
21 small file is installed, so probably making that file optional is not
22 obligatory. Nevertheless it would be cool to use the useflag whereever
23 possible.
