Here is a list of the issues I ran into using IBP before the 23rd. 5
appears to not be merged yet and must be resolved prior to making IBP
the default as you can't restart a provisioned node.

1. a full cobbler template is generated for the IBP node, if you
wanted to re-prov the node, you would have to erase the cobbler
profile, bootstrap and call the node provision api. If you forced it
back to netboot (which can be done with installer methods) it loads
the installer instead of the bootstrap image

2. We need to be careful when considering removing cobbler from fuel,
its still being used in IBP to manage dnsmasq (dhcp lease for
fuelweb_admin iface) and bootp/PXE loading profiles

3. After a time all DNS names for nodes expire (ssh node-1 -> Could
not resolve hostname) even though they are still in cobbler (cobbler
system list)

4. fuel-agent log is not in logs UI

5. image based nodes won't set up network after first boot
https://bugs.launchpad.net/fuel/+bug/1398207

6 image based nodes are basically impossible to read network settings
on unless you know everything about cloud-init
