Can you clarify the first sentence? The timestamp on the mail you forwarded is 11:37am, long after DHCP would have been relevant for the Lucid upgrade. Or are you suggesting that the fixes were put in place earlier than that? (They would have had to have been between 2am and 8am to have any effect on the upgrade)
Is there any additional information on what was done and how we know for sure that this fixes the PXE problems we were seeing? And was this related to the RT ticket you (Josh) had opened with NIST?
