This is a problem I have to solve for pungi as well.  I'd like to keep the 
config file/manifest file somewhere in public scm, but I keep running into a 
brain block when thinking about what to name such a repo.  We have comps, I'm 
half way tempted to make a new repo that has a comps/ subdir, a compose/ and 
a livecd/ or something like that and call it fedora-compose or some such.  
Just thinking out loud.

By just listing various groups from comps, you can have a singular package 
set.  Some of the packages won't be available on some arches and that's ok, 
the tool should allow for that.  Warn about missing packages but don't error 
out.  Really the only thing that differed in my kickstart files from arch to 
arch was the source of the install, and I made that a stub that was included 
into a singular unified kickstart file.  I'm pretty sure we can have just one 
ks file for all the arches.
