Wishful thinking: OpenWRT userland can now replace dnsmasq with two separate programs. The DHCP server, odhcpd, is already included (for DHCP6). They just need to write the DNS software.

I always disable/remove dnsmasq when I can. Compared to the alternatives, I have never liked it. This is at least the second major dnsmasq coding mistake that has been published in recent memory.^1 Pi-Hole was based on dnsmasq which turned me off that as well.

Anyway, never gonna happen. Just wishful thinking.
