I agree - it's generally easier to install packages than to remove them and all their leftover dependencies.

Isn't acpid necessary to get VMs to reboot and shut off properly?

Maybe we could have a generic kickstart for all VM images and then %include it in all the vendor-specific (e.g., EC2) kickstarts, which contain the bits that aren't portable between environments.
