We had better be talking about support to remove bootpd from the base
system.  There is *_ZERO_* reason to import the ISC dhcp SERVER into the
base system.  It is used by a small % of systems, pkg_add -r isc-dhcp
works JUST FINE, and many people will argue for a NO_DHCPD knob.  We
plain just don't need yet more 3rd party software in src/contrib.  We are
not going to style(9) the server code, we are not even going to develop
it.  It can stay in ports.
