For what its worth, I understand where he is coming from. Especially the
part about the OpenBSD crowd.
OpenBSD ships with its own version of DHCPD. If you read the tail of the man
pages here is what it says.

" BUGS
     We realize that it would be nice if one could send a SIGHUP to the
server
     and have it reload the database.  This is not technically impossible,
but
     it would require a great deal of work, our resources are extremely
limit-
     ed, and they can be better spent elsewhere.  So please don't complain
     about this on the mailing list unless you're prepared to fund a project
     to implement this feature, or prepared to do it yourself."
