Many distros create and distribute images based on the v1.0.0 code from iPXE (stable release). This version does not support the --autofree flag that we use in our boot.ipxe template. While using --autofree may be a good practice (it frees the image after chainloading) it's not mandatory and by removing it we will get a much support for people using the stable version of iPXE and it will continue to work with the images built from the master.

Ironic
Ironic is an integrated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor API and a set of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI in concert to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
