Something tells me Saurik is a tad more invested at this point, it's not really as simple as "avoiding Apple devices" when you are the dev of Cydia.

I know next to nothing about iOS as it relates to Darwin, but if the DHCP stack is part of Darwin, it'll be OSS, which means someone could patch the DHCP client to not exhibit this behavior.

How many people do you think would install that patch?

* Resolves potential IP conflicts when recovering from sleep

* Adds 10s to network availability in most situations

Nobody. For the record I agree with you, I wasn't defending saurik just pointing out that your resolution was inadequate as he is overly invested at this point.
