As I understand it, Anaconda installs from the newest available packages when doing the initial install. So there's no value to having deltarpm support available early on, since Anaconda won't do updates, it'll just install from the latest. If this is a feature that's important to you, I'd suggest installing it in your kickstart, or immediately after install. As long as it's in place before you run your first 'yum update,' you get the bandwidth gains.
There are probably lots of small utilities that would be useful in a minimal install, but that way lies bloat. I also assume we're tracking upstream's minimal install, so CentOS is rather limited in what it can add without diverging too far.

I know, I already did, but isn't it supposed to be included in the "minimal installation", it is only "82 k" and it was in CentOS 6 Minimal, please consider adding it, smaller update size makes huge difference in bandwidth (for the users and mirrors).
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).
