I think in most caess, it's actually _nicer_ to create your own overrides
file rather than editing a big monolith one, bceause with the monolithic
approach you have to deal with merging changes in areas you didn't care
about.

I'm also not in favor of adding _more_ "canonical voodoo" to kickstart files
-- that is, stuff which is effectively mandatory in every %post section.
