There have been various inquiries made about the patches submitted to ISC DHCP by the GNU/Hurd project team - and we responded last month to Svante Signell including the statement here: --- "I'm afraid that a mistake was made earlier when the response was given that we planned to incorporate the submitted patch for ticket #24697. This seems to have been due to an internal misunderstanding. Subsequently we've reviewed the patch and discussed at length the request to have it included and have to say that we have no plans to incorporate it in the near future. We have some technical reservations about the proposed change in relation to the effect they might have in other OS environments, and additionally we don't have a test environment in which to verify the stability/supportability of the resulting build(s) going forward. We receive a large volume of development work requests, and while we accept that this one is of importance to the gnu/hurd maintainers, we understand that the number of users of this OS is relatively small and we have to take this into account when deciding how to utilise our resources. So with regret for the disappointment that this answer will cause, our response has to be that this is not something that we can do now, although of course the decision can be revisited in the future if circumstances change." --- So I will of course alert engineering that you've submitted new patches, but the reality is that we are unlikely to incorporate them into ISC DHCP code in the very near future.
