I just did a minimal el6 install and yum-presto is not included there either.
You are right, my bad, not included by default. But again, if there is no reason other than the size for not including it, please consider adding it to the default minimal set (for the bandwidth reasons).
I think it might have been included in some versions of the minimal release (maybe 6.3 or so?). I have yum-presto on one system and 'yum info' says it came from:
From repo : anaconda-CentOS-201207061011.x86_64
and I think that was a minimal iso, but it hasn't been on other versions.
It was included until 6.3 but got removed once the concept of the minimal ISO was changed from " a minimum of packages needed to have a functional system " to "a set of installed packages almost identical to the one installed when choosing the group named "Minimal" from the full DVD image." See http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSMinimalCD6.4 vs http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSMinimalCD6.3
And I have to be honest and declare that I have no idea why we[*] included presto in the first iterations of the disk. It was an error, it should not have been there.

I am assuming it is important because of the large updates of some packages, in this case the kernel, but you made a point with the "minimal" concept. Thank you all, and again, thanks for this fast release.
