I think this is great work, and fills a big gap in Fedora as it is.

Presumably not just desktops, given your examples of openstack.

I'd also like to "works in kickstart postinstall" as a basic feature. That
means a non-interactive mode.

One of the big questions to answer is distribution. I can see good arguments
on the one hand distributing formulas via RPM and on the other having an
official Git repository for them.
