I have read the thread by I don't know what is the real plan about dhcpcd.
Should it replace the current dclient?   
  
If so then I'm not for going this way with the default handling of ntp
and NIS. Where the later is a really nono for me and the former should 
at least make it possible to save the old config file, if it is enabled 
by default at all.
