I got a question from a colleague that did not want DHCP. I removed
the system as there is no way to disable the DHCP only. But the
dhcpd.conf was not regenerated until a manual sync is called.
Two questions:
- Can the dhcpd sync be called implicitly after a system delete?
- Is it possible to add an option to keep systems in Cobbler
but disable them from DHCP?

The first one is not a good idea, I'll explain.
We don't regenerate dhcpd.conf except when "cobbler sync" is run....
why? It has to restart services, and we don't want to do that for every
system. Assume you were modifying 200 systems, or just ten, one at a
time? We want to only restart the service when the user wants to.
The second one? Yes, if you don't put their network interface
information in there, it won't be used, or you could flag those
interfaces as static, and they won't be in there.
