Coming from someone who used to have to configure systems to meet DISA STIG 
requirements I applaud this feature.  One can use the same SCAP rules to audit 
their system later to look for changes in the system.  Looking beyond the 
existing offerings of NIST-specific compliance, one can write their own rules 
for configuring their systems at install.  I wouldn't look at this feature to 
only be useful for enterprise-level installations but rather flexible enough 
for any installation.

You could have similar results using a kickstart file or some sort of script 
post-install but you'd end up duplicating the work to create the rules for 
install and auditing.  I won't comment on the ease of using one over the other.
