We are speaking of packages that are installed in the vast majority of Debian systems: https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=isc-dhcp It's not a service to our users to claim that we will not support them. This is a reason for us to start moving away from them in unstable/testing (but who will do that? You might want to raise the discussion on -devel and get some bugs filed). But I'm afraid that we will have to keep maintaining those for the benefit of our stable/oldstable (and even ELTS) users. I'm pretty sure that all the other distributions will also continue to maintain those packages for the lifetime of their respective releases so that we will have opportunities to share the workload and patches.
