No, it isn't:
  http://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9/etc/rc.d/dhclient
  http://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.0/etc/rc.d/dhclient

Even the des@ change that my commits were trying to fix
  http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/etc/rc.d/dhclient?r1=178233&r2=226345
isn't MFCed to any RELENG branch.

Since this stuff is HEAD-only, then, in my opinion, there is no need
to revert the stuff: the policy of HEAD that it is a proving ground
for the changes in the FreeBSD code, so it can have some rough points
from time to time.

For some definition of "tons", yes.  If this change would be MFCed to
9.x, then "tons" will really be a large number.  But since this is
HEAD-only problem and, I think, we're getting closer to its solution
with each second, we can aim at caring about the semantics and about
the proper fix for it.

Though, I can not fully understand the HEAD best practices and this
stuff should/must be really reverted.  If so, someone should point
me to the right direction.

Thanks.
