Yes, for the past several years. I can't speak to Commotion, but
Byzantium migrated on 27 October 2012, and made it official in v0.3a
(Beach Cat).

The package in our repo has the release code v0.6.4.

- From a technical perspective, it's been six of one, half dozen of the
other. From a management perspective, we had to write a little code
that rewrites /etc/olsrd.conf and bounces olsrd (and, in turn, sends
signals to a half-dozen other parts of the software stack) but that's
about it. babeld makes it much easier to propagate new gateways
through a mesh, but olsrd made it somewhat easier to reconfigure other
stuff the next wallclock second after that happened.

I didn't mean dhclient or dhcpcd, I meant the ISC DHCP server. Lots
of folks like to use it, but there are better implementations to use
in this problem space.

You and I both. I think we're both asking for ponies, though. :(
