In both the "Enabling connections from a client to {ProjectServer}" and
"Enabling connections from {ProjectServer} and clients to a
{SmartProxyServer}" procedures there is a --add-service=tftp line so
users are already told to open up port 69 from clients.
Then the specific part of allowing it through NAT is not something we
support anywhere.

Style-wise no issues and there is nothing to test. I'm still not sure what to do for tech review in these cases. On one hand, it would be good to get a second opinion to confirm that the procedure is indeed undesirable to keep, on the other hand, when it's a writer submitting a PR, we only require one engineer's opinion for tech review, not two. |

I like diffs with negative line counts, so am happy to provide my ACK here :) |

Anything else to add? (Considerations, potential downsides, alternative solutions you have explored, etc.)
This came up because of https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-documentation/pull/3851/files#r2083388803, but already in #3530 and #3839 I looked at the content and had my questions about it.
