Several came out from various Red Hat developers when the "shackles were
taken off" and the Red Hat Rawhide team "had at it" with renamed Fedora 
Core 1 Test in removing years and years of built-up "inter-dependency hell."

If you search the [now] Fedora Development lists from August-September
2003, you should see several of them.  Some are CLI and some web (PHP?).
You can even use them to build pre-assembled package lists for use in
Anaconda -- which is really nice if CentOS wants to add its own installation
types.

E.g., I've always wanted to create a Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC
aka "key server") install that is rather a minimal package list.
