This is not necessarily true. If you configure the client to send
a requested hostname it will not require you to register the MAC
address, although, as per the usual this is a security risk since
anyone on the network could pose as a machine if they knew that
was the setup. ;)
Not that that is any different from when using the MAC address
to key your DHCP server, since that is just as easily faked.
Or when using static IP addresses configured directly on the
machines themselves.
If you are afraid someone will pose as another machine by
"stealing" their IP address, then you need physical security
on your network.
