Whether he is or not, the existing kickstarts all seem to make assumptions that can't be overidden (e.g. package choice). For what I've been doing, I usually find there's one or two assumptions that make the standard kickstarts unusable. What's he's proposing appears to move some (all?) of those problems up the chain several spots.

Otherwise, it kind of breaks the ability for us to, you know, release the distro ;-) I really don't like -default, though.

As that looks pretty close to the x86_64 size. If not, then ahh, the fun of the ever-growing distro!
