I was thinking that if the ks.cfg files were already on the first
CD/ISO, then existing anaconda boot syntax could be used to locate the
files. This idea would make the scripts accessible to folks right away
without modifying the stock CD/ISOs. Modifying the first and last CD/ISO
are anaconda tricks to take advantage of the implicit "beginning and
ending installation events".

Your point is well taken if the repository will only be implemented as
an rpm.  Those who wanted to use community development ks files would
then have to install the rpm and then respin the first CD/ISO or use one
of the other ways of accessing the ks files.
