Can we get confirmation that this won't be fixed in terms of fixing older images, and that the correct solution (as suggested by Adam Conrad) is to update to the latest 'xenial-updates' netboot image?
And if so, change the bug status from Confirmed to something else (not sure if Fix Released or Won't Fix is appropriate, given the general issue is using the old netboot images)
From a usability standpoint, I briefly considered if people are likely to download netboot images from the "xenial" pocket rather than the "xenial-updates" pocket which will no longer work. If someone navigates to the archive manually that seems likely, however, on a search I have found most of the documentation found with a quick google search for "Ubuntu Netboot" points to the download location as http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/xenial/ - which does point to the xenial-updates pocket.
