BTW, there are generic tools to run/stop dhcp clients (and other
configuration steps) when the interface goes up/down. I've used ifplugd
for it, but IIUC there are others.
I think if the user just starts the dhcp client on an interface
independently from the moment the interface goes up (or down), this is
simply a misconfiguration.

Sounds about right,
