I don't see that happening. As someone who manages bare metal, there's not that much to it besides using a pxe installer. Didn't even use that before we got 20 servers, would just configure IPMI physically the mount the ubuntu ISO via IPMI and manually install the OS at the office.

Ubuntu is actually heavily investing into MAAS (metal as a service) and so is Redhat with cobbler and foreman. So I'm guessing there's enough demand to justify their development (as every major cloud provider uses in house tools AFAIK)
