I wonder if we're heading down a path of confusion by adding yet another
ltsp-* service name. Reportedly dnsmasq with a proper config file can
replace dhcpd, tftpd and named all in a single service. This at least
sounds like it would be less confusing for the long-term.
OTOH if we did do that, we can't migrate existing F-9 users during the
release. Or do we just not have F-9 production users yet so we
shouldn't worry about this?
Do we keep dhcpd, tftpd and named as default?
dnsmasq as default?
Do we let users choose?
The more completely redundant options the more confusing this gets. =(
