Mainly a broken DHCP server is not recognized by it, therefore nodes might select a gateway with a broken dhcp server. Routers have to run a cronjob every minute to reevaluate gateway metrics because of weird refresh behaviour with specific client modes. Also, gateway selection violates the OSI model by tampering with protocols on a different layer. When disabling it, every DHCP Server will reply to a clients request and the client decides which offer it is going to use. Typically the first response is used.
