How come it would now /require/ pykickstart >= 1.13 if it's a
try/except/pass for pykickstart < 1.13?

Well, the try/except/pass wasn't for backwards compat, it was because
if you ask pykickstart to do a methodToRepo and your method is anything
other than "url" you'll get a traceback.
Although I suppose that this will work for backwards compat too, it's
just a different failure mode, one hidden by my lazyness in just
excepting everything there.

One example where laziness has a positive side-effect :)
Looks fine, though I'm going to drop the requires bump. Forcing an
upgrade for it just feels unnecessary.

Dumb question- What does this actually do? (e.g. an e.g.)
Sorry, so, in a kickstart file you want to actually use to install
something you have to define a method, that is a location to find the
packages, or find stage2 if you started with boot.iso or pxe boot or
something like that. This is akin to the boot time argument
"method=<something>". One such method is "url" which can be
http/ftp.
Since this is a popular network install method, and since installs
generate a kickstart file from the install, it would be handy to be
able to take that kickstart file and shove it directly into either
livecd-tools or pungi. Instead of adding a repo line and duplicating
some information, the kickstart parsing code should be able to take
that url definition and turn it into a repo to be used later. Since
this only really makes sense in compose tools, but we want the code to
do this to be in a shared location, pykickstart grew a method to turn
the url method into a repo and add it to the repo list. If your method
was anything but url, pykickstart will raise a generic error, which is
why I just have an empty except:pass.

Makes sense. Methinks the time may be nearing for more
comprehensive/unified documentation. No, I'm not volunteering ;)
