Being honest... We need a migration path from ISC-DHCP and bikeshedding or downright apathy has been an impediment to that happening.

There are multiple ways to solve most engineering problems.  I picked one that got me the most dependenable path forward given my skills and the time available to test and develop.

But be honest: ucode isn't the only way to solve this, is it?

If I'm going to be maintaining this indefinitely, then I'd think I'd get some lattitude in how I pick to solve this particular problem.

I think this isn't an apples-to-apples comparison.  I'm the maintainer for 12 packages, and you maintain.... zero.

I've made a commitment to the project.  It would be good to get some reciprocity for my efforts.  That's all any contributor asks for.
