Out of curiosity, is there any standard or convention for the vendor-class-identifier which would let this approach work well out of the box? Sure, it seems one can make it work manually if one happens to have a useful vendor class identifies to work with, but there's nothing there that could be standardised and Just Work, especially with transitions like v8, HF etc.

Ideally, we'd want to be able to have PXE just work in our provisioning service, and hard-coding, or hand-coding, or hand-hard-coding specific mappins as per the example isn't a solution.
