Historically there has been little to no future development of ks files
in parallel with work for the upcoming release, so that branching early
seems to make the process more work and more error prone for no real
benefit. So we have delayed branching until near final freeze.

I would think the nightlies should follow the branch for the upcoming
release and so should follow the spin-kickstarts branch for the upcoming
release. So if we were to branch spin-kickstarts at alpha, I think that
we'd want to have the nightlies use the branch rather than master until
a little after release. (Then they switch back to using master / rawhide.)
