--- Comment #2 from Lexi Winter <ivy@FreeBSD.org> ---
DHCP client on a bridge should work fine.  if it doesn't, please file a
separate PR for that (or ask on net@).

we won't remove member_ifaddrs sysctl until all commonly used configurations no
longer require it, but vm-bhyve should be updated to ensure the IP address(es)
are assigned to the bridge, not the member.  this configuration has always been
wrong (it doesn't work properly), we just didn't enforce it until now.
