as the epel maintainer of denyhosts I have no intention to maintain it
in EPEL 7. you would need to talk to the fedora maintainer about
maintaining it in epel 7 howveer its really not worked well in the
systemd world. longer term there is plans underway to remove
tcp_wrappers support from fedora so it would need to be re-written soon
anyway.
