@cks@mastodon.social I was about to "upgrade" isc dhcpd wtih kea until I saw that. New deployments will probably be dnsmasq instead. Which has its own problems. I have a hard time trusting a dev team that thinks json is a suitable format for a human edited config file. What other anti-pattern have they used?

@dmaonR@mastodon.online @cks@mastodon.social Interestingly, they opted to make many of the v2 plug-ins open source with v3. I wonder why 😉 The closed "enterprise-only" plug-in ecosystem was one of the reasons next to the idiosyncrasy of using JSON for human readable config files, why we opted against kea, just fearing we may need a plug-in down the line and would need to lock into a support contract. dnsmasq does have its fair number of quirks, but so far, definitely usable.
