Maybe I'm missing something but I thought this is what tools like
pungi and such were created for.

If that is the consideration though spins.f.o would be the place I
imagine for hosting this if custom kickstarts were really what you
wanted - hell, you could even have a custom kickstart file repository,
specify it by name at install and off it goes...?

If it were me though for 50 + installs I'd cook up a spin and deploy.
