I had brought this up a while back (april I think). The one killer feature would be that when using a network boot iso, gpxe would allow you to retrieve an updated list of servers rather than always having to rebuild your iso.
The layer 3 network booting is nice, but there are plenty of work arounds for being stuck in a layer 2 network (cisco ip-helpers for instance).
