FWIW, I have no strong option, but I more and more tend to say: let's put it
into the nonfree repo, because the result of what this is building has nonfree
packages available.

Alternate solution: Provide rpmfusion-free-remix-kickstarts and
rpmfusion-nonfree-remix-kickstarts; the later package mainly could just include
the kickstart files from the former and add the nonfree repo.

Can't really follow the "Hence I believe..." part. rpmfusion-nonfree-release
makes nonfree package available to the system and hence is in the nonfree repo,
even if it itself is free. I think this is a good thing, as it makes it obvious
"you are crossing a line here", which IMHO is needed, as you might violate
licenses (like "non-commercial" clauses) if you blindly use stuff from the
nonfree repo.
