One add to that: just because a system has UEFI doesn't mean it supports
all the same boot methods equally.  I do a lot of network installs, and
early UEFI systems I tried had broken PXE support (not sure when this
may have changed, as I then didn't try for a while).

Setting up a UEFI PXE boot server is (in my experience) more
complicated.  UEFI also supports HTTP boot, which is an improvement (the
sooner TFTP can die the better), but it's not a widespread (or at least,
sometimes not as easy to call).
