ISC's EoL dhcp suite, including dhcpd



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.
