Is this such a big deal? We're moving to CentOS 6. That's a major change and would but a viable reason to change the tree layout.
I still think its a big deal, or can potentially become a big deal. Since this changes quite a lot of context in whats already available ( docs etc ) and what people would expect ( we have always said that we dont have any 'support driven / cost driven' build selections ).

multiple iso files does not equal duplicated RPMs that I can see. The tree would still be unified; no?!?
Not really. Workstation build would have quite a lot of common ground with Server ( as an example: kernel / glibc / bash ). Also, the tree needs to ( or should ) match the primary install media or one loses out on a lot of potential tooling. eg Spacewalk / cobbler would then need to be aware of how the different tree's dont match up and howto handle those.
