But why did they make this change?  The old dhclient worked, didn't it?

There appears to be a tendency to replace old and trusted software from
trusted developers by newfangled crap that more mimicks the behaviour
and stability of Microsoft Windows, but why would "we" want to do that?

For example, with every package designed by Lennart Poettering I remove
from a system, the system gains stability and improves in performance.
(recently I again had that experience, this time with ifplugd, yet another
completely useless program that only causes problems.  just remove it!)

However, all the time we have to row against the flood of such packages
introduced by the distributors.  Is there a secret plot behind that?
