The use case is a client as a VM.
Kickstart process creates VM and enrolls client.
client dies
Kickstart process deletes VM and enrolls client.
Fail, already enrolled.
There is no entity in the middle that can run host-delete or host-disable.
The desire is to either add a new flag (e.g. --autoclean), or extend the meaning of --force, to have the client detect that it is already enrolled, call host-disable, then enroll.
It is expected to only work when doing a delegated enrollment. OTP will not work.
Related to #3374.
The important point is that this assumes that and would work only if the user who is running the command in kickstart has sufficient privilege to do the host delete/disable/add operation anyway.
