Your memory is still rusty. Early accusations were that this would impact developers (such as Oracle) who were adding additional patches to the kernel, or other maintenance. It never impacted "clones" like CentOS at all.
And you're incorrect; CentOS publishes a centosplus kernel that was impacted to some extent by the kernel tarball changes I believe.
There are no absolutes in life, saying "never impacted" is almost surely untrue for at least one group of people.
