Oh duh! Sorry. :-) Yes, I was meaning the generic you and I
realize that it may well be overbroad depending on a lot of external
factors such as lease parameters, many be server, and who knows what.

And that's a valid point. Stephen was warning people that pump
can cause problems with certain cable systems, and that's fair. I've
got my own reasons for not using pump on cable systems. I've now also
observed problem in other environments. Does that mean that everyone
should immediately jump over to dhcpcd? No... If what you have is
stable and operating, don't screw with it. OTOH... If you DO experience
one of the problems Steve and I have been discussion, at least you'll
have a really good idea what the guilty party is. :-)
