repurposing dhcp command

Hi.
Basically, bootp command and dhcp command have the same logic, no
difference whatsoever.
Also, sometimes, It's needed to just acquire an IP address using dhcp
and boot in some other way (NFS).

I'm suggesting repurposing  the dhcp command to only do DHCP IP
address acquisition.
Users could use "bootp" command instead, or just type "dhcp && tftpboot"

What do you think ?

Thanks,
Ramon.
