ISC would like to end maintenance of the ISC DHCP *client and relay* by the end of 2021. We plan to continue maintaining the DHCP *server*, and any code that is common between the server, client and relay for a couple more years at least. Our January 2020 release of ISC DHCP incorporated a number of submitted patches, mostly for the client, but otherwise we have done little maintenance on the client or relay. To be honest, the client and relay have simply not been a focus of ours for several years. As a small non-profit organization, we have to allocate our limited resources carefully and we think the ISC DHCP server, and Kea have more future value for users.
