+
+On 2021-11-01, we will remove USE="tcpd" from the globally default
+enabled USE flags (https://bugs.gentoo.org/805077). USE="tcpd" usually
+enables sys-apps/tcp-wrappers for an ad hoc firewall based on
+/etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny.
+
+The Base System project has come to the conclusion that 24 years after
+the last upstream release, tcp-wrappers is not suitable for a default
+configuration in 2021 anymore. Other distributions have completely
+removed support at this point. We strongly recommend you switch to more
+modern packet filters, such as BPF, nftables, or iptables. If you rely
+on tcp-wrappers, you can re-enable the flag, see
+
+  https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/package.use
+
+for package-specific ways to re-enable tcp-wrappers.
