Why do you dislike that?
That was put there intentionally, to allow people with DHCP problems to specify
either an empty client id, or PXEClient, or MSFT5.0, or LTSP-i386 or whatever
else their specific environment required.
The clientid was later on forced to '' to avoid duplicate leases (one for PXE
and one for udhcpc).
I believe that clientid_param should be put to use again, i.e. make
clientid="''" by default, but allow it to be overriden by a kernel
command line parameter, so that by default we avoid duplicate leases,
but people with Windows DHCP servers can set clientid="MSFT5.0" in
pxelinux.cfg/default so that they get the same lease as in Windows.
