ISC plans to end maintenance of the ISC DHCP client and relay by the end of Q1, 2022.

The Internet Systems Consortium has stopped maintaining their DHCP client, which is standard on a lot of distros.
Debian has updated its documentation and now warns users to choose an alternative:

On Debian Unstable, I was already forced to uninstall it in yesterday’s upgrade.
If you’re using network-manager, you don’t need to worry, since it includes its own dhcp client, but for others, this might be relevant.

On Arch, this concerns the dhcpd package:

    I posted mainly because Debian now seems to force a switch in Unstable and many distros rely on its packages.
