I think kickstarts are pretty much expected to be exactly correct. The
release criteria says the GUI installer shouldn't crash, permitting it
in certain instances. But for kickstarts, crashing if things aren't
exactly spot on is probably permitted criteria wise. I'm not saying
it's OK that it crashes, it's just that exception handling takes some
coding either to parse the kickstart and reject it from the start, or
some sort of fail graceful code.
