I would use them and have used them in the past, even filing a bug report when they first
broke.
Some sort of inheritance would be great for profiles.

profiles and take values from the parent if a value is not set? I created the sub profile
from the web page. I had problems selecting other options and had to set them from the
command line.

select different builds (we like to reduce the number of kickstarts to maintain and just
have one that does everything).
