That, and maintainer laziness.  :)

Pulling all of the ‘unneeded’ packages out of the ISO is a labor-intensive and 
error-prone process; if you get it wrong, the resulting DVD is basically 
unusable.  So I’ve basically left it as stock CentOS 6.4, with the relevant 
Rivendell and Kickstart components added.

Cheers!
