We consulted that matter with various Kea users and it turned out that there is still a large base of them which have a strong desire to use those fields. Therefore, we decided to add generic support for it. Currently, the siaddr, sname and file can be all defined for a host or for a class. The siaddr can also be specified on a subnet level. We may also need to add support for sname and file being specified on a subnet level. Not sure if global entries for those values are that useful. though.
