I can't really follow you there. But than again, I haven't used a setup 
like you (letting DHCP continue and having a fallback to a static IP). I 
haven't come accross communication standards requiring this so far. But 
then again, we have a tool to talk to devices that are set to DHCP but 
fail to get an address...

There *is* a branch for 2.1.x, which is currently a little outdated. 
Things normally get cherry-picked there and release as bugfix release 
from tiem to time.

But this one wouldn't have made it there as it was hidden in the ACD 
change (which won't get merged to the 2.1.x branch). I'll reopen bug 
#55380 for that back-merge.
