(1) Resources - It takes 50gb now, and at the final state probably closer to 100gb, to mirror CentOS. We are averaging 16.50 TB transferred monthly just to do the distro, updates and supply the public mirrors. We have to somewhat limit what we add to the mirrors so that we can mirror it effectively. We only have so many servers and so much bandwidth ... and CentOS Base has priority.
On a different note, I had heard rumors that the CentOS and Scientific Linux teams might work together. Any substance there (being that there are things Scientific Linux has that I like and use, but they seem to be pretty much duplicating your effort)? It would seem to be a good fit if the teams can work together and pool resources (particularly, the SL team has lots of bandwidth available).
