I'm hoping the same - at some point it will wear off.

My first thought: if you'd like to participate - why not just ask in the
dhcpcd discussion group?

This sounds easy, but sometimes I decide whether to upload an update or
not based on the number of requests in the respective discussion groups
or in the IPFire forum - even if I cannot reproduce the bug(s) or am not
directly affected.

Sadly, my system is running without seen problems. The kids have mostly
moved out and it gets boring. No more challenges. ;-)
