The main advantage would be the ability for sites that already use
tcpwrappers to centralize their network authorization
mechanism. Having this information spread out in lots of little
separate files is harder to maintain than keeping it all under one
framework in one set of configuration files.
That being said, it is possible to hide rsync daemons behind
tcpwrappers tcpd, it is just less efficient than having it be built in
to the server itself (and you still have two sets of config files to
contend with).
