I actually proposed a moderately large overhaul of the live image 
kickstarts some years back which would've gone some way to solving at 
least some of the cruft:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=739446

and is now wildly out of date and I just can't work up the energy to 
rediff it. :/
