In conversations, the idea of a trimmed down kernel for cloud images has come up repeatedly.
I was wondering if anyone would like to help define what this might look like and then help maintain something of this nature for the CentOS Project ( ideally targetting CentOS-6 and 7 ).

This sounds similar to:

It's shipped on Fedora 21, F21 Cloud images only ships kernel-core. What used to be kernel in Fedora < 21 is divided between kernel-core (bare kernel) + kernel-modules (commonly used modules)
If you're looking a contact, Josh Boyer is the right person to ask about it.

Just curious if this went forward or if it got dropped in the craziness leading up to FOSDEM, etc.?
As Haikel pointed out, we did complete this for F21 and I'd bet Josh would be happy to help share the work for a CentOS kernel-cloud.

Having distinct build kernel rules from upstream EL7 would seem to notably increase the risk of delayed security errata. Isn't it better to wait until this makes its way upstream?

Judging by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1081581 it landed in Fedora 21.
I'm only a casual Fedora user, but to my untrained eye, the logic appears to be mostly in:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/kernel.git/tree/filter-modules.sh?h=f21
with necessary hooks (obviously) in kernel.spec.
