The functionality was duplicated from deploy allowing multiple NICs, and I wasn't involved in the discusion as to why that was decided. There could be other reasons why that was put in place, I don't know. At any rate it doesn't hurt anything in particular, and I'm not sure how many are using the capability in 4.0 and earlier, but they may have gotten used to it.
