suppress message -> ISC DHCP has reached end-of-life
-
@Tacyon ISC was an amazing set of software. I wonder what made that team so successful for so long. It’s got to come down to a great team of people they had. I hope that pfSense can get some of those programmers to help out one day. Who knows why it is depreciated. It worked well for a long time, still does. Again the longer it goes with no updates the more vulnerable it will become.

@JonathanLee Kea is ISC's follow-on to their old DHCP code; it's not like those people just disappeared into the ether. You can read their statement about the differences between the products here.
TBH, my take on it is that they felt they needed to have some proprietary add-on products, which the ISC DHCP codebase and licensing didn't really leave any room for. That's fine though, at the end of the day we all need to make some money.

Kea is produced by the same ISC group, so not sure what you mean. It's mostly the exact same folks. And ISC is the name of the company, not the software name.
ISC produces a DHCP server, a DHCP client, the BIND name server daemon, and now Kea to replace the aging DHCP server. Here is their website: https://www.isc.org/ showing their products (scroll down the page a bit).
