Hi Sebastian,

I'm a bit surprised about the timing of the removal, is this the final
call about the severity from Release Team? 

What is the default replacement for the client? and for the server?
I looked at the discussion on -devel and I'm still unsure..
dhcpcd-base + dhcpcd and kea?
without this info I'm not able to decide what to do for runit-services;
there are 3 services for isc-*, two in bookworm, and none for
alternatives so I guess it will be a regression for runit users.

what about isc-dhcp-keama? are we going to remove that when a relevant
share of users still have to do the migration?

Overall I think it would work better if the removal is done at the
beginning of the forky cycle.  A release note could help pushing users
towards alternatives and leave us a proper time to test the new
defaults. Could you reconsider?

Best,
Lorenzo
