I wanted to avoid involvement with this SRU as I am risk of being to
close to this issue to safely unbiased.  However, I feel i can add some
value.  Therefore, please consider this to a be complementing comment -
rather than pushing in either direction.

My understanding is that if users used the "maas-dhcp" to allow MAAS to
drive their dhcp (using embedded cobbler) then this SRU almost certainly
requires manual intervention to insure uninterrupted operation.

"maas-dhcp" is a universe package, that was never designed to be a core
part of MAAS.  It was provided as developers were making use of it, and
it seemed useful to provide for this purpose.  However it was
intentionally left in universe.

If the documented use of MAAS is followed, then it should be a well
tested seamless upgrade.

Whilst i'd normally entirely agree that this update poses scope for
concern, the positives outweigh these concerns.  I understood that this
was the primary reason this issue was progressed to the TB for
discussion.
