dhclient is the best without a doubt, it is really configurable, its
been around for ages on many different architectures/OS's, its
actively(im pretty sure) mainatained by the same people who maintain
bind.
I used to be on a network that only worked with dhclient (pump was not
around then)
Is it worth saving 16KB and introducing the possibility of it not
working with a small minority of users.
Its a hard call
