(In reply to Sevan Janiyan from comment #2)
In https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=83482 I see nothing
about inetd(8).
This feature was committed 15 years ago and since than nobody complained.
There is a non-zero probability that people are using this particular feature
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
But unix socket is a file.
