+ == Deprecate TCP wrappers

+ 

+ Fedora 28 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Deprecate_TCP_wrappers[removes support] for `tcp_wrappers` (aka `/etc/hosts.deny` access files) by default from all the network daemons and tools.

+ The preferred replacements are software firewalld, nftables rules or software specific access rules for more complex filtering.

+ If your system security depends on `tcp_wrappers` rules, convert them to firewall rules, or set up `tcpd` to do the same job for you.

+ 

  == OpenLDAP switches from NSS to OpenSSL

  

  With this update, the OpenLDAP distribution in Fedora changed from using the *NSS* (or *MozNSS*) library to the *OpenSSL* library for providing cryptographic functions. The switch promises better support from OpenLDAP upstream, which had ceased maintaining the NSS support layer.

This PR contains the release note for Issue #85: 'Deprecate TCP wrappers'. The text was taken from a comment by @jjelen (thanks!) on #85.
