Well, I have my home server both connected to the cable (dhcp-client on
eth1) and to my local network (dhcpd on eth0). It's the only server
available and I wouldn't want to drop dhcpcd because that would break too
much on other systems.
I agree that it's not a normal situation, but it certainly isn't an
unusual one.
