This is a query to get a sense whether anyone runs the Sun dhcpd (server
side, not client side) daemon on any illumos distributions.  That is, will
*anyone* miss it. (Note that I'm not terribly interested in hearing from
people who are running this on *Solaris*, unless they have a near term need
to move that to illumos.)

Note also that in terms of serving DHCP, the ISC DHCP server is 100%
capable of doing everything that the Sun code can.  What the illumos/Sun
code offers that ISC doesn't is some Java based configuration GUI and CLI
interfaces.

The reason for wanting to ditch this code is that it creates a runtime and
build time Java dependency (not the only one, I know), is a large and
complex code base, and is currently rotting in the tree; we don't think
anyone is using it, so it would be better to just yank it than to leave it
sitting there rotting.

Thanks.
