Devs,
With ISC dhcpd now mature and frozen (end of life, but ISC will continue to make available on gitlab and if necessary provide bug fixes), the new ISC offering is Kea that is its successor to dhcpd.
The wiki notes the successor in the first paragraph https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dhcpd but there is no Kea page and no indication if Arch will start packaging Kea.

For those of us with long standing ISC bind/dhcpd setups what does the future look like on Arch? Will there be a Kea at some point?
I'm using kea as dhcp server for quite a while, it's pretty easy to configure and is reliable as far as I can rate that in my small setup.
