Well, originally, it was something independent.

Basically you can have a menu launch another menu with syslinux, and 
this is what that would be doing.

However:

This makes me want to investigate further. 

Either way, we do carry a syslinux with the cobbler RPM so you can 
deploy x86/x86_64 from other arches (as unlikely as that is), so we 
could include
a newer version as needed without making requirements to use a specific 
distro for the cobbler server.  That's what we do now to avoid the same, 
particularly as things like EL 4 have a older syslinux, than, say, F10.
