 Also,  I  don't  like idea of removing IP address from interface when
cable is unplugged. It was very disturbing behavior of Windows
machines for years. I've unplug cable to change switch port for only a
second and all connections are broken, even if one second later
dhcpclient receive SAME lease! I don't like this. FreeBSD was very
tolerant to unplugging cable for eons, and I (and not only me) like
it. If I understand this change properly, it is no more the case :(
