One of the problem with Fedora is that we are to generic but with 
targeted products we can break away from that so I would actually say we 
should produce the best out of the box optimized ks/playbooks files for 
any given server product, reducing the steps necessary to 
configure/tweak/optimize/scale/secure for administrator to perform and 
get started.
