Replacing the client is already being worked on by foundations (for
early boot) and the cloud-init team (for cloud-init).

While it is a valiant effort to consider dnsmasq users, there is a
reason they didn't use isc-dhcp to begin with.
We might have a look, but I'd not consider dnsmasq users a blocker.

I think walinuxagent is the one that I have not heard of yet in regard
to this efforts, someone needs to look into this indeed.
And I mean independent to kea, just for the sake of dchp-client being
no more fully maintained.

As I said above, I welcome any effort but would consider this optional.
