In many environments, systems not installed with kickstart need to be
relatively consistant with those installed with it.

"You can patch around it in kickstart" isn't a very satisfying answer. You
can, with enough effort, solve *any* problem that way. Doesn't mean it's not
a problem.

I know you've got a personal investment in this thing. But I really believe
it's not the right answer.
