The CS3 animations and the Chosen form input plugin look pretty slick. I don't see the new icons being that big an upgrade over Glyphicons. The performance stuff seems like stuff I'd rather set up on its own rather than as part of my design framework.
These guys should provide instructions for "Kickstrap-izing" existing bootstrap sites rather than just how to create a Kickstrap site from scratch. Having already invested a bunch of time into getting a bootstrap site set up, I'm more likely to cherry pick from this than use the whole thing.
Also, an observation about marketing copy: The main headline for Kickstrap describes it as Twitter bootstrap with "with themes, enhancements, and other goodies."
This doesn't tell me how I benefit from using it over bootstrap or another framework. I had to spend 15 minutes reading their site trying to figure that out.
A better line might be "Twitter bootstrap with more icons, animations, and 5x the page performance."

They do, on the github README.md [1], under Install:
If you already have a Bootstrap installation running, drop the /extras folder into your Bootstrap root. Drag the sample_index.html file in /extras to your Bootstrap root and /extras/css/bootstrap(.min).css wherever you have your existing bootstrap.css file. It should be linked and ready to go. (If you already have HTML files you want to use, see "Advanced Setup" below.
