Bookworm network stack discussion

I'm sure this has been discussed elsewhere in Debian but I can't find that specific discussion. Since ISC has deprecated dhclient, is there a different system that the Debian project or the cloud team is going with for Bookworm+ (systemd-networkd?).

For example, there is an upstream race in dhclient that is likely never going to be resolved but shows up in Debian 11 in particular and we're trying to figure out what the path forward is generally for Debian. Most other distros have moved or are moving to systemd-networkd for example.
