Hey Alan, Actually, i have no idea. Never used Cobbler cli as a regular user :S
Looking at the code; i suppose the most obvious use-case is that the cli is for the Cobbler admin only. There's no clean separation between client and server (importing the item_* stuff requires the complete server package) Easiest way forward is to kill dead-code / features. Though it's probably nicer to separate client/server (also in packaging). Is this something you want to work on? Do you have other use-cases for the cli?
