I'm a little surprised that nobody has forked this to continue
maintaining it. dhcpd is widely used, and kea is far from a drop-in
replacement.
It is also not sexy software and you have to deal with a very hornery set of bug reports where everything going wrong in any office is of course blamed on DHCP. [You also need to know about the deep intricacies of a ton of flags and settings which may have stated RFC uses but have been misused for decades because some hardware decided to reuse a flag for a boot-time option. You 'fix' an issue and you usually find you broke some key infrastructure no one 'knew' about except someone who retired 4 to 10 years ago.
With that, I can see why ISC is 'burying' the software for some poor sucker to take up.
