I just upgraded to 0.4.2-0 (from 0.2.8-1 - it's been a while) and

[root@kickstart ~]# cobbler system remove --name=00:17:A4:8B:BC:29
can't delete something that doesn't exist
[root@kickstart ~]# cobbler system remove --name=00:17:a4:8b:bc:29

This seems like it should be case insensitive to make it fall into
standards compliance.

Why should a MAC address or a hostname care about case?

You're right, it shouldn't. As a backwards compatibility note, I'm guessing no one is using profiles or distros that differ only by case. If you are, speak up! :)
