Yes, it's a splendid idea. We should start having more example kickstart
files in ks_examples/. The more useful ones are those with a list of
packages that can fit into a 650/700MB CD-R/RW and DVD. Other example
kickstart files that we should have are country- or language-specific
ones so that other users from non-english speaking countries can benefit
from this project too.

The problem with creating kickstart files for CDs is that there are so
many packages to choose from, but we can't have everything. And each time
we use Kadischi to create an ISO, if the list of packages we selected doesn't
fit into a CD-R/RW, then we have to do it all over again, which can be
pretty painful.

I have attached a generic kickstart file that I wrote today. It fits into
a 650/700MB CD-R/RW nicely. With a slight modification, we can use it as
a standard-livecd.cfg for ks_examples/.
