Yes. Two privsep'ed implementations were mentioned on owl-dev. We need
to package one of them. Probably ndhc:

Since you say "by default", I assume that you're aware that you
currently can enable DHCP client support at your own risk by editing one
line in dhcp.spec.
# We do not officially support the DHCP client because it is rather
# complicated, yet it runs entirely as root, which we find an
# unacceptable and unjustified security risk. If you enable this
# setting, then you're essentially running your own revision of this
# package, and you're on your own with possible vulnerabilities.
