Wow, I didn't know Ondřej Surý is related to ISC/Kea. I use his
packages for nginx / TLS 1.3 and PHP a lot in our large infrastructure
and they are always working perfectly.
I appreciate his work, a big thank you to him!

I left a vote when it was announced to the ML. We use an image for our
large (distributed) setup of DHCP + MySQL M/S:
https://bitbucket.org/code-orange/netstack-kea-vm

Most of my images are based on Debian for the simplicity of involving
linux newbies and because they allow very small builds.
