+todo:
+notes:
+- Concurrently syncing Cobbler is bound to fail with weird errors.
+- On python 2.7.8 and older (i.e. on RHEL7) you may need to tweak the python behaviour to disable certificate validation.
+  More information at L(Certificate verification in Python standard library HTTP clients,https://access.redhat.com/articles/2039753).
