Yes, I do have a problem with systemd dhclient module.

It doesn’t work with Juniper routers that many large ISP providers use.

So I resort to ISC DHCP and its flexible DHCP OPTIONS.

That issue is besides the point:

1. It's not relating to the service manager part of systemd. It sounds like a problem with systemd-networkd which is a component that is entirely optional and easily replaced even on a systemd-based system (as you admit yourself).

2. The original question was about bugs in systemd that require inspecting C code where the equivalent bug on a non-systemd system could be diagnosed by inspecting shell scripts. ISC DHCP is not written in shell script.

So, you didn't need to recompile or debug anything. Just switch to another DHCP client.

which distro uses the systemd dhcp client by default? Even Fedora doesn't do that.
