Myself and CID from the GR-OSS team are planning on, community willing, adding a new, more reliable DHCP backend to both Ironic and Neutron. Right now, that looks like kea, but we are less concerned about the specific project as much as we are about it not being dnsmasq ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/2026757 ).

Given neither of us are incredibly familiar with the Neutron codebase, we wanted to get buy in and some general implementation advice.

As a note; if desired this can happen outside PTG, but this DHCP conversation is a PTG topic for Ironic so I thought this would be a good place to do it.
