This caused us heartburn for our Campus LAN when we upgraded as we had
been using "forwarding-options helpers bootp" and were told that it
was deprecated and we needed to move to "forwarding-options
dhcp-relay" which is a BNG feature that requires a subscriber
license--a ridiculous requirement for a Campus LAN.  It turns out that
"helpers bootp" still worked, and may still work today, but I'm no
longer working in that environment so I'm not sure.
