Hi,

the FAI packages would be affected by an isc-dhcp removal as follows:

- for fai-quickstart the dependency can easily be removed
- For almost all FAI environments we need to create the nfsroot which
  uses the network-legacy module of dracut, that needs dhclient.
  Without a nfsroot most things will not work.
- The default FAI installation environment is a network installation which
  uses the network-legacy module, that needs dhclient.
  dracut supports other network modules for e.g. systemd-networkd,
  but currently FAI is sticked to network-legacy.
- The FAI installation additional calls dhclient using the option -sf for
  calling a FAI specific script file to receive optional settings without
  setting the network. Not sure if other dhcp clients support this and
  if the FAI specific script will still work.
- FAI provides a ready-to-go config script for a FAI server (inlcuding
  a sample ISC dhcpd.conf) that sets up the ISC DHCP server. This
  example would not work any more.
