The driving goal for me has been "get rid of libdhcp fast". So I put
this patch together hoping I could merge it in to rawhide sooner

patch. If people want to skip that interim step entirely, I'm cool
with that and can go ahead and start moving it to NM entirely. Not
knowing how long that would take, I just focused on removing libdhcp
for now and leaving our current functionality in place.
Fair enough... I just think that we might as well get the real end
goal
in place, even if it takes a little bit longer. It will end up saving
effort overall as we won't have to fix things in the interim step.
Sounds good. Taking the axe to this patch and working in NM.

The right fix for mkinitrd given the direction we continue to move
in
there is probably to switch away from nash builtins and just suck in
the
appropriate utilities into the initrd. But that's not an easy move
either.
That's an entire project by itself, I think.
Yep. Hence, I wouldn't try and tie it at all to this set of changes.
Which might mean that libdhcp sticks around for a minor case for a
little bit longer, but hopefully not that much longer.
KAHN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Upstream mkinitrd needs to understand that no bugs will be fixed in
libdhcp from this point on.
