The EOL timeline has now been announced.

ISC-DHCP is end-of-life since end-of-2022, both client, relay and server:


ISC has announced the end of life for ISC DHCP as of the end of 2022. ISC will 
continue providing professional support services for existing subscribers, but

Is it a good idea to keep it alive for another 2+ years in 
Debian-12-Bookworm or should it be removed now?

I do not think that it should be removed at this point, since there is 
a need for the complex features that isc-dhcpd can provide and there are 
is no obvious replacement: Kea is super complex (and I do not know if it 
has all the features) and everything else is too much simple.

Only the client and relay are no longer maintained upstream. The server
is still maintained and there is no need to drop it from Debian.

But it is too late to remove isc-dhcp-client from bookworm as well
(IHMO): it would need migration away to alternatives such as systemd-
networkd or NetworkManager, including relevant changes in the installer
and other reverse dependencies.

The use-case presented in the thread seems reasonable to me; when you
are submitting a bug that you noticed and definitely exists (and is
easy to reproduce) but that you don't really care about.

For example some folks mass-file FTBFS or other QA bugs but don't care
about or use the individual packages. Or I might notice a typo while
looking at newly available packages or downloaded things, but if the
package isn't one I will install, I don't really care about the bug.

These bugs don't have someone we *know* definitely cares about them,
but the are still likely to affect *unknown* persons, either Debian
users or users of the upstream package on other platforms and thus
it is still reasonable that they be filed as bug reports somewhere.

Personally, I've replied to moreinfo requests on bugs for packages I
no longer use so I wouldn't use this feature, but I can see its value.
