Also, it was returning to the behavior which has always been present. If you're getting your kickstart config over the network (ks=http or whatnot) and not specifying the IP to use on the command line, DHCP is used. This has been the documented behavior since the beginning of time[1]. If you want a static IP, you have to specify it on the command line. That said, I could see an argument for having ip=ask or the like to be prompted for the information even though it'll make that code even more painful than it already is.
