A lot of PXE setups are set up such that the filename of pxelinux is always given out. So by always following that, we'd end up grabbing a garbage file which could then end up having less than desired effects. While the class based and dhcp identifier stuff is nice, I'd venture a guess that most people aren't actually using it and I'm sure there are a number of commonly used dhcp servers out there that really don't support it.
