Hi Martin-Éric,

I think for me both options should work. I guess for maximising uptime it 
would make sense to not restart dhcpcd and if it is important enough (e.g. due  
a security bug) inform the user (e.g. via NEWS) that a manual restart should 
happen as soon as possible.

Now that I think more about it, not stopping and starting automatically is 
probably the better option, because if something goes wrong during the update 
or the update is just stuck at a prompt it could else leave the system without 
network connectivity.
Better that stopping and starting again some time later would probably be just 
doing an restart once (stop and directly start again without delay) if that's 
possible.

Thanks,
Maxi
