We had better be talking about support to remove bootpd from the base system. There is *_ZERO_* reason to import the ISC dhcp SERVER into the base system. It is used by a small % of systems, pkg_add -r isc-dhcp works JUST FINE, and many people will argue for a NO_DHCPD knob. We plain just don't need yet more 3rd party software in src/contrib. We are not going to style(9) the server code, we are not even going to develop it. It can stay in ports.
