Based on recent list activity, and a talking with everyone at Summit and IRC,
here's my list of the top 4 things I'd like to see added to cobbler in the
near term:
-- Virt support for deploying additional virt types
KVM, etc
Fullvirt Xen
-- Extend the repo management code to deal with older non-yum content (RHN),
like mrepo can do, such that running mrepo as a seperate tool for older
distros is not required.
-- Build a netinstall CD from cobbler for environments that don't do PXE.
Tie the CD to a specific profile (or better, eventually, provide a boot
menu). Lots of folks need baremetal provisioning and due to aspects beyond
their control can't use PXE.
-- Support either om_shell or DNSMasq, to avoid the dhcp reload wait time
when manage_dhcp is enabled and systems are updated. (Some folks I believe
are looking at both of these?)
If there's something you'd like to see added feature-wise, I'd be glad to
hear ideas.

-- make sure everything runs on RHEL4 from start. Don't Fedoraize
cobbler.
