yes, so? how is that relevant? disabling the telnet daemon doesn't
require deleting the telnet client binary. as a communications protocol,
telnet is dangerously insecure. as a diagnostic tool, the telnet client
still has some use.
BTW, using telnet to check port 25, 80, 8080 or 3128 or whatever
connections doesn't require an 8-bit clean client.
