Hello NetBSD friends,
Disclaimer: I used my news client to search for prior discussion with dhcpd in the subject and was surprised to see that this hasn't seemingly come up. I may have used my news client improperly, so apologies if this has already been discussed. Would appreciate a referral to the group list and subject line.
ISC's dhcp suite is sadly now out of support (and had apparently long been deprecated) from ISC*, but we're still shipping it. Has there been discussion about what to do about this? ISC's replacement Kia project at least has a tool to convert your dhcpd.conf to something usable in Kia - important for those of us with more complex dhcpd configurations. However, this doesn't solve the client side portion. Also, as an aside, it seems that OpenBSD is still using a fork from ISC's tree. FreeBSD seems to be in the same boat as us. Not sure what the Linux distributions are doing...
* I found this out when my 9.3 -> 10.1 router upgrade started spamming the console with messages about unsupported options requests from clients and researching at ISC's site.

Thanks and kind regards,
