We are a team of senior CS students from Western Washington

enhancements to inetd as described here:

When it comes to adding per-service configuration files, our current
plan is to add a new configuration command, simlar to xinetd's
"includedir", that allows for specification of a per-service
configuration directory.
Personally, I think this is a bad idea, most fundamentally because it
enables, even encourages, administration without understanding.
I know the maintainer of xinetd, who has repeatedly tried to get rid of
it. I think doing anything like this is good for a project but I'd
rather not see it in NetBSD. But that's just me and I can adapt.
