      Given a system administrator configures a RHEL-9.5 system with NetworkManager,
      When they attempt to set up a DHCP for network interfaces
      Then NetworkManager should use a supported DHCP client instead of `dhclient`

      Definition of Done:

      • The implementation meets the acceptance criteria
      • Unit test and integration test are written and pass
      • The fix is part of a downstream build attached to an errata
      • The initial text for this enhancement in the feature-reason-result format (More details here)

      As `dhclient` is no longer being developed as of early 2022, continuing to support `dhclient` in NetworkManager may not be in the best interest.

      This ticket is to track its deprecation and removal from NetworkManager to use more actively maintained DHCP clients and ensure that NetworkManager remains aligned with current networking practices.
