ISC plans to end maintenance of the ISC DHCP client and relay by the end of Q1, 2022.

The Internet Systems Consortium has stopped maintaining their DHCP client, which is standard on a lot of distros.
Debian has updated its documentation and now warns users to choose an alternative:

On Debian Unstable, I was already forced to uninstall it in yesterday’s upgrade.
If you’re using network-manager, you don’t need to worry, since it includes its own dhcp client, but for others, this might be relevant.

On Arch, this concerns the dhcpd package:

    Other DEs should use network manager as well. I’ve tested this at least on MATE, XFCE, as well as Cinnamon.

    This is not a guarantee, tho, as users can pretty much install whatever they want.
