Currently if you do the following you can assign all "unassigned" 
systems to a default profile:

cobbler system add --name=default --profile=profile_name_goes_here

You can also do this for certain networks via CIDR notation

cobbler system add --name=192.168.0.0/24 --profile=profile_name_goes_here

If the "default" system does not exist, and there is no per-network 
record, then the PXE menu will be shown.

Currently the netboot enabled flag is the protection against the system 
being redeployed. If pxe_just_once is enabled in 
/var/lib/cobbler/settings, the system will turn it's netboot enabled 
flag off, preventing accidental reinstall.

Are you concerned with the neboot enabled flag being too easy to toggle 
in the Web application? We could perhaps add a second checkbox like we 
do with "are you really sure you want to delete this", though I'm not 
sure that's the optimal solution.

I think it's a feature to know what the system has been assigned to in 
cobbler because then you know what profile it is (most likely) running.
