Then stick with what we have done in the past, use the isos to reflect whats in [os], create the ability for people to use the [optional] repo at install time and go with that. The iso content would be dictated by the merged iso contents from upstream, so we retain the CentOS<= 5 process in that regard.
Continuing on the same idea, one thing that came up was reporpose the Extras/ repo and use that to host these 'additional/optional' packages. Given that it changes a massive user expectation - unless there is very good reasoning to do this, lets try and avoid this.
does CentOS-6 extras repo will contain some stuff which will be extra from Upstream ? same question for addons and contrib ?
IMHO, keeping close to upstream schema is better for people are mixing RHEL/CentOS so their config / script (yum specific) can be shared easily ;
BTW, make a remix/livecd/livedvd should be easy using fedora's livecd-tools because RHEL6/CentOS6 are based on Fedora 12/13
