I have taken SL7 kickstarts, modified them, and then used them with 
minimal changes on Rocky, Alma, and CentOS. In fact, my test system I 
switch between all three with a single kickstart that I just switch by 
commenting out the `url` line I don't want and uncommenting the `url` 
like that I do. It's that easy. I get a consistent build with any of the 
three OS every time.
