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!
