Well, this sounds more like a market for a piece of hardware, consisting of a flash-ROM with an additional "switcher" mechanism on top that allows you to load several kickstarts into the same system, then switch at boot time between them. Thus, some sort of "intelligent kickstart switcher", which can be udpated by software, so you don't have to exchange physical ROM chips on your machine.
If you ask me: Is there a market for such a thing? Yes. Would I buy one? Yes.
