We can also have various kind of kickstart files for differents usages. So
having them splitted does make sense. What I would like, is to use a generic
keyword which would be differents than rpmfusion for the produced iso.

I have in mind to contribute two or three differents kickstarts whom can be
from "fedora + free only" or "fedora + free + nonfree".

Now if the package that redistribute the kickstarts files are named
rpmfusion-*.rpm, it still does make sense as addition kickstart that fedora
doesn't not ship , hence we ship at rpmfusion. But the produced iso should be
named differently, and probaly have a different name for either it is fedora +
freeworld or fedora + free + nonfree.

(I haven't checked which named is written on the iso).

+1 to Thorsten.
