When pxe_just_once is enabled, Cobbler is smart enough to remove the 
per-mac-address PXE config file of a system once it is installed to 
prevent infinite PXE boot loops.

Currently Cobbler does this by removing the TFTP config file for that 
particular MAC address, falling back to whatever is the default.  But 
what happens if your default system is configured, as in something like 
this:

cobbler system add --name=default --profile=default-profile    OR
cobbler system add --name=192.168.0.0./24 
--profile=default-profile-for-network

You'd reinstall that system.

It's been suggested that a better behavior for this is to change the 
template the system uses and save it instead as a PXE config that 
explicitly local boots the system.

I can't see this breaks anyone but I figured it would be important 
enough to mention here.   (If it does, let me know, and we can talk 
about making a config option, otherwise I'm not going to worry about it).

This will be included in 1.2
