I wonder why one would use DHCP in the datacentre?

My servers do not rely on anyone else to tell them their network
config (well, actually they rely on the provisioning system, but that's
"semi-static" and reboot-safe).

For servers, relying on something that might not available after 
something unexpected, like "power outage", but which is otherwise 
completely unnecesarry to fulfill their role seems... surprising.
