That is, lastlease only refers to using the lease iff REBIND/REBOOT fails *and* the least hasn't expired. Once the lease has expired it rightfully should be discarded and the interface brought down.

The interface is never brought down, just de-configured if persistent is
not set.
The interface is always de-configured on non NetBSD systems when the
carrier drops.
