I too would prefer seeing dhclient renamed, if any renaming is to happen at all.  It's always seemed inconsistent from the many examples that have gone with foo-server + foo-client. 

Whatever you do, please do so between Fedora releases so that those of us who use things like puppet can have a simple condition on the OS release number.
