[Bug 850886] Re: cobbler-ubuntu-import results in possibly stale netboot kernels

[Scott Moser]

** Description changed:

  Because of bug 850880 we will only see this on the ubuntu development release.  However, when that bug is fixed, there is the possibility of:
   - user installs cobbler (and/or orchestra)
   - user does a netboot install and it works
   - user waits 3 weeks
   - user does a netboot install and it fails because the kernel booted from the netboot iso cannot find modules in the mirror as they've been purged due to a newer kernel version in -updates.
  
  In IRC conversation with cjwatson at
  http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/09/15/%23ubuntu-server.html#t12:02 , he
  mentions that this will not be a problem, as "we never do NBS runs on
  post-release pockets at the moment".  Collin also said "this is sort of
  a bug but we could refrain from fixing it if it would make life easier"
  
  So, right now, even if we pulled from -updates, this will not be an
  issue.  Thus, this only affects development release.
