This is just plain impossible anyway (except for config files in /etc), no 
matter what you do (i.e. not just with kickstarts). The next update of the 
package legitimately owning the file will destroy any changes made to the 
file (except if it was marked %config(noreplace), but files outside of /etc 
must not be marked %config nor %config(noreplace) according to our packaging 
guidelines).
