Two examples:

* user management - There is no way to reserve uids before installation,
there is no way to custiomize nsswitch.conf, there is no way to
configure network'ed homes.

* kickstart is only a means for advanced users, who are familiar with
RH-based distros. It's not suiteable to "first-timers".
