EXPIRE and RELEASE

A Smoothwall Express user recently encountered a slight problem with his ISP. dhcpcd produced reason EXPIRE, which my script doesn't handle. Nor does it handle RELEASE. But in my IPv6 testing, it does handle EXPIRE6 and RELEASE6.
Query: should EXPIRE(6) and RELEASE(6) do the same thing? (In the case of Smoothwall, basically clear /etc/resolv.conf, clear the local store of address/mask/gateway/etc. and 'active' status.) They indicate different reasons for taking action, but should the action for IPV4 and IPv6, respectively, be the same for each?
Thanks,
Neal
