Until you realize that some projects want packages from UCA, from RDO, from EPEL, from third-party package repositories. Version conflicts mean they'll still spend time uninstalling the versions they don't want and downloading/installing the ones they do so we have to optimize for one particular set and make the rest second-class citizens in that scenario. Also, preinstalling packages means we _don't_ test that projects actually properly declare their system-level dependencies any longer. I don't know if anyone's concerned about that currently, but it used to be the case that we'd regularly add/break the package dependency declarations in DevStack because of running on images where the things it expected were preinstalled. -- Jeremy Stanley
