Sure, but I was only going at the --dhcp option. When I first saw it, I thought it was a convenience option for users. However, as I understand it, you can set pfinet to 0.0.0.0 with your patch without using --dhcp, and as this is hidden in some script, there is no use in calling it --dhcp if you can call it -a 0.0.0.0 [...] just as well. And I believe this (perhaps from another angle) this is Roland's criticism as well. Your patch is very useful of course, I just think we do not need an explicit --dhcp function but rather should make -a 0.0.0.0 [...] work equivalently (if this is not already the case) and use that in scripts.
