Kickstart options (Do/Don't)

[praveenkumar]

We want our kickstart file to well maintained and understandable, to achieve it we explore some of option which should go to ks or not.

• [ ] rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70*
• [ ] bootloader --location=mbr --append="no_timer_check console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0"
• [ ] Keep eye on upstream cloud kickstart files.
