No, I don't... Works for me (though I'm using HEAD):
[mdeh...@mdehaan src]$ sudo cobbler system edit --name=system1
--ksmeta="aaa=bbb ccc=ddd"
[mdeh...@mdehaan src]$ sudo cobbler system edit --name=system1
--ksmeta="~aaa ccc=eee" --in-place
[mdeh...@mdehaan src]$ sudo cobbler system report | grep Kick
Kickstart Metadata : {'ccc': 'eee'}
Given this works on devel and it's a relatively minor feature we can
just fix wait for devel if neccessary, though I don't think the
functionality changed between the two. This is just a CLI convention
so the API and Web App don't need the above trick to remove a value.
