No objections for me. I think it makes sense for new devices. As I
mentioned, I believed it was worth it when I originally wrote
oldsys-preseed but I've changed my mind in the meantime. I think
using DHCP + static fall-back for new devices is a good choice.
You can achieve this by either a) adding a preseed file to the image
or b) adding "support" to oldsys-preseed, i.e. simply telling
oldsys-preseed to use DHCP + static fall-back.
