This is intentional.
We are moving from a model where dhclient on 1 interface believes it is
MASTER of /etc/resolv.conf and a bunch of system aspects, and the
userbase is familiar with a pile of hacky control knobs in
dhclient.conf.
Towards a model where multiple interfaces + unwind can advertise their
DNS resolution abilities to resolvd, which then sorts the offers and
maintains a configuration.
dhclient will remain available for people who want that old model, but I
suspect they will encounter increasing difficulty sticking to it.
Because the default configuration is changing.
dhcpleased inspects all interfaces
dhclient only works with assigned interfaces
There are times when one interface configured by dhcp must be supervised
but other interfaces must not be disturbed >>despite any flags<<, e.g.
during
a reconfiguration, testing, switchover, etc.
Will there be a way to confine dhcpleased to a defined set of interfaces?
