No, I did not: I explained that I wanted to better understand your setup 
to determine what the default semantics should be.
In the case of #824931 the problem is that it is login and not telnetd 
which creates the new user session, so the telnet daemon is left in the 
inetd cgroup and killed along with it.

While I still think that this would be the most generally useful 
semantics for other inetd-started daemons, I can see how it could 
surprise telnet/rsh users.

Since I am not sure if there is a simple solution that could be 
implemented in the telnetd package, at this point I am considering to 
set KillMode=process as the default for openbsd-inetd.

OTOH, I am not sure that this use (corner) case of telnet/rsh users is 
more important than the others, even if the current default is 
a regression for them, so I am still undecided...
