Recommend that kickstarted systems with less than the recommended minimums state something to that effect in the anaconda logs.
The system still might build, and might have problems. Sure the peep's responsible might NOT look in that log. The fact that the system was built, either kickstarted, or manually, with less than the minimums should be logged to a known common place to look for such information.

if a box would pop-out before starting the session saying "hey guy, you're
running this at less than 4 GiB memory, this won't work, sure to continue?" or
"hey gal, you're running this at less than 2 GiB physical RAM, this will swap
to death, sure to continue?", it'd save me a lot of time trying to figure out
WTH is going on (is the media checksum correct etc.)
if it'd be during install, it'd be nice to have such a check once the user
choses the software group which rises the bar
ad 2), in the abovementioned case, it was clear almost immediately that
something is wrong, and in server scenario, I think generating a little traffic
to services that are on would be sufficient - if someone leaves the boundaries
of the default setup then it is the admin's responsibility to adjust
accordingly, but let's just provide the base number X, so that if someone
knows "I will run a database which will eat Y memory" then it can be easily
said "X for base system + Y for database = total memory needed"
