+Unsolved problems
+-----------------
+
+This specification has the following problems that must be solved in its final
+version:
+
+#. ``PXEboot.validate`` will not pass without instance image parameters.
+#. ``PXEBoot.prepare_ramdisk`` tries to configure DHCP, which requires VIFs and
+   conflicts with DHCP of **ironic-inspector**.
+#. It is not specified how to pass kernel parameters when **ironic-inspector**
+   DHCP is not used (e.g. for virtual media).
+#. The change will be in effect immediately for many deployments without a way
+   to opt-out.
