I will take time to add RFC 7844 - Anonymity Profiles for DHCP Clients to dhcpcd and now look to an end of January release provided no privsep issues come up.

This has now been added :)

This works by randomising the hardware address when carrier is down
and using this to construct a DUID LL which is used over any saved
DUID. IAID is defaulted to zero and hostname + FQDN are disabled.
Then every possible option is masked out except for essential ones.

It's possible to request options *after* anonymous option which
will enable it. This is RFC compliant and allows 100% flexability
in letting the user decide what, if any, details leek out.

This is disabled by default.

Looking forward to a release soon!
