We've already got API calls for scheduling a script to run and coming back later to check for the results, as well as some nice UI components for storing and re-using scripts in kickstarts. It would be nice to unify the two and allow the scheduling of those scripts to be run outside kickstart as you suggest. Might even be some room to integrate with cobbler snippits too. IMO the pieces are probably already in place, just needs a bit of UI love and possibly some changes for the existing kickstart script edit/storage to make it a little more generic, though I doubt there'd be much.
