The Linux folks stopped doing it:

   2.0 supported the net interface 0.0.0.0 IP address convention (meaning
   the kernel should accept all IP packets). 2.[12] don't, hence things
   like many bootp/dhcp configurations which used this feature break.

   The proper fix is to modify bootp/dhcp clients to accomplish the same
   thing using raw sockets instead. I think dhcpcd
   (<URL:http://www.phystech.com/download/dhcpcd.html>) already works
   this way, but bootpc hasn't been updated yet.
