At the WG meeting in Minneapolis, the WG accepted two mechanisms for
extending the set of available DHCP option codes from
draft-ietf-dhc-extended-optioncodes-00.txt:
(1) redesignate option codes 128-223 to be assigned to new options
(2) recover disused option codes (the "Impress Server" option being
the canonical example) for reassignment to new options
It turns out we misunderstood the second of these two mechanisms; the
author of draft-ietf-dhc-extended-optioncodes-00.txt (Bernie Volz) was
referring to option codes already under consideration for reclamation in
"Unused Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Option Codes" (RFC 3679),
rather than option codes defined in RFC 2132 that currently see little use.
Therefore, we should not follow up on (2) and will pursue only (1) (which is
now published as draft-ietf-dhc-reclassify-options-00).
