I vote for renewing classes by default... thats what I have been always
doing when implementing softupdates; this also allows to add classes to
machines when softupdating (while there is no 'clean' way for
class-removal).
@Thomas: you mentioned some case where regenerating the class list may lead
to problems as the reason to reuse the "old" classes... was that
in case of classes depending on the FAI-DHCP config or were there
other reasons?
