Basically, we've got a mirror server already. It has plenty of resources,

duplicating effort (and wasting disk space) in cobbler, and point entirely
at that remote mirror. The "Non-Import (Manual) Workflow" with
--mirror-locally=N seems to get us part way there, but we still need to do
things like "distro add" pointing to local kernel/initrd files
We also mirror ourself and let cobbler just work on that.
For it to manage pxefiles etc. it has to know about vmlinuz/initrd of the
distros thou, manage profiles.
I am not sure what funktionality you would like to get from cobbler without
having pxe/dhcp-management - and for this cobbler needs to know about the
distro/profile objects.
