V3 is the currently released version and V2 is now frozen. The ISC
DHCP web page makes no reference to V2 other than to mention that
older V2 releases have a serious security hole. It lacks many features
of V3 and has some problems in dealing with abandoned leases that V3
fixes. I see no reason that anyone should run V2 other than "if it
ain't broke, don't fix it".
