Please contact me if you need assistance. Actually I don't think I can change this behavior at this point. This was put in place because upon bootup (or execution of the init script), dhcpcd will fail to start if the pid file exists. The pid file is only removed if dhcpcd is not running. This is merely a sanity check (it is logical that if dhcpcd is not running the pid file should not exist) and it fixes the bug that causes dhcpcd to fail if the file exists. Being a fairly new developer, I ask out of ignorance not out of spite, but should this even be considered a bug? I admit that I have only read policy, not memorized it!
