While that's true, the TFTP server doesn't answer pxelinux requests only. If there are Alphas involved (yes, I still got some for FAI toys), there is a remote (even a real) chance that at least the "-r blksize" option to tftpd-hpa makes sense (I'm talking about XP1000's with the latest, still buggy firmware, which would use wrong ports if that TFTP option wasn't handled specially). Just as a reminder... there's another world beyond PXE.
