Aren't you basically implying that the in-kernel DHCP client and NFS
mounting should be removed from the kernel too?

I'd agree with that; it's the trend.  But it seems pretty harsh to say
"you can do DHCP+NFS now, but if you want to set the MAC address too,
then you have to reimplement DHCP+NFS a completely different way from
scratch first".
