Hello,
So just to add my 2c in...
This statement worries me, I would suggest while we as a community
should encourage the use of FOSS operating systems do we really want
to take an RMS style view on this? Cobbler from my POV should be a
generic systems management and will work best if it can document and
deploy your whole infrastructure, re my earlier comments about
upgrading iLO cards and network devices from Cobbler.
Windows is not going to be going away from the data centre any time
soon and while I believe everything should be virtual unless there is
a good reason not to be not everyone has that view.

Indeed.
Supporting Windows just sucks too many resources.
Would these support requests not be balanced out by an increased
number of Windows users on the list?
Again just my thoughts, if the community wants to provide and support
Windows deployment on tin then why not allow it?
Take care.
