Maybe I'm missing something but I thought this is what tools like pungi and such were created for. If that is the consideration though spins.f.o would be the place I imagine for hosting this if custom kickstarts were really what you wanted - hell, you could even have a custom kickstart file repository, specify it by name at install and off it goes...? If it were me though for 50 + installs I'd cook up a spin and deploy.
