What I lean towards is the following:
1) Add a 'rescue' directive in kickstart for the sake of completeness (see
above), but without any options.

I really like my suggested way better -- it makes things a little bit
more in line with other things we do in kickstart and also makes it so
that the default (of booting with 'linux rescue' or having 'rescue' in
your ks.cfg) matches the same thing you'd get just hitting enter in an
interactive rescue mode.

And then, if we really care about multiple roots (and I still don't
think I do that much), something like 'rootpart sda3' so that you only

I'd still like to avoid this.  the multiple root thing can be worked around with stuff that is put in the post section anyway.

have to specify the actual partition/LV/whatnot rather than anything
more complicated
