This is definitely a bug, i will take a look at it.

FYI, the master branch is slated to become cobbler 3.0, this means functionality and API may (and shall) change or can be removed altogether (eg. s390/itanium).

One other example is the remote kickstart URL feature; this has been removed on purpose also as a result of multiple CVE reports.
Kickstarts *must* reside on the Cobbler server and also they *must* be in the directory /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/

Cheers!

I didn't have my old installs handy (lots of dead servers lately!) so I
wasn't able to check on this myself, but it did seem like this was new.
Thanks for the confirmation. The code still supports (iirc) adding
custom kickstarts into the list, but now there's not a web UI way of
providing it.
