Just a little question: Since they are meant to be temporary - would it hurt
if we remove the XCLASS-lines at the end of kickstart-generated files?

The feature would still be available but it's not so inviting to extend them
anymore like it is right now...

Yes it's nice, but it's a lot of work for the person who merges them. It
