The ability to evaluate a line or lines based on whether a word appears 
in the kernel cmdline would go a long way.  In Jinja2 style (assuming 
cmdline is an array of words from /proc/cmdline):

{% if "softraid" in cmdline %}
  ... whatever software raid args
{% endif %}

The other thing I'd really like to see is the ability to set chunk size 
for software RAID arrays.  It defaults to 512K in mdadm and there's no 
way to specify a size in kickstart.  That default performs terribly in 
all of the workloads where I've tested it.
