Subject: Clarify persistent wording to address confusion.
X-Git-Tag: v10.0.3~13

Clarify persistent wording to address confusion.

When persistent is not specified, dhcpcd de-configures the interface at exit.
However, the default dhcpcd.conf example provided enables the option.

 Sometimes, this isn't desirable if, for example, you have root mounted over
 NFS or SSH clients connect to this host and they need to be notified of
 the host shutting down.
