This is actually implemented. If you PXE boot a node with maas-dhcp installed, the default boot profile is the enlisment one. So you can enlist many machines by: * Configure them to PXE boot. * PXE boot them to enlist * Approve the nodes in the web UI * Nodes will be commissioned on the next reboot (which might happen automatically, if Wake-on-lan is supported and configured on the machines).
