I don't know why but I do know when: in the middle of the Fedora release 
cycle breaking anaconda because it appended %end (until it got to 1.19).

"The end" here is relative. %pre and %post can come after %packages 
still, it is merely that all the other statements, such as partitioning 
and install/upgrade or text/graphical, etc... are in the beginning.

Maybe a better way to put it is to imagine the kickstart split in two 
sections: one must come first and holds all the answers to the different 
stages of the installation process, the other -that must be last- holds 
%pre, %post and %packages.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'mouse'.
