In case it helps. I generated a list of changed rpms in c6 a while back,
including a short summary of the changes:
abrt
• change gpg keys (swap rh patch for similar centos patch)
• change desk-vendor macro in spec
anaconda
• three patches
• bump release?
centos-indexhtml
• analogue of redhat-indexhtml
• different content
centos-release
• analogue of redhat-release
dhcp
• branding patch
• change vvendor macro in spec
firefox
• new default prefs file
∘ changes general.useragent.vendor
∘ also storage.nfs_filesystem? dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.nswrapper?
intentional?
gnome-desktop
• change %configure distributor parameter in spec
httpd
• new index.html source file
∘ index.html -> centos_index.html

• patch to add Centos to uname_str based behavior switch
ntp
• add CentOS Pool servers (spec change only)
openssl098e
• description change in spec
plymouth
• remove everything-is-better-in-red patch
• note: this appears to be purely aesthetic.
redhat-bookmarks
• not renamed [?]
∘ maybe a dep issue
• changed default-bookmarks source file
• spec branding edits (summary, url, description)
redhat-logos

• spec changed, basically a fork
redhat-lsb

sos

∘ no changelog entry
thunderbird

∘ change user agent
virt-p2v

virt-who

xulrunner

∘ user agent
∘ startup.homepage
∘ homepage_override_url
∘ homepage_welcome_url
yum
• yum.conf.centos
∘ setting changes
‣ installonly_limit, bugtracker_url, distroverpkg
• yum-updatesd.conf.centos
∘ no changes apart from name
• corresponding .fedora conf files dropped
• spec
∘ Requires: yum-plugin-fastestmirror
• I'm not sure any of this counts as debranding
In addition, there were several packages rebuild with .centos in the
release that did not appear to have any source changes. I assume these were
rebuilds due to build environment issues rather than code or branding
issues.
at-spi
gnome-applets
gtk2-engines
libcanberra
libgail-gnome
librsvg2
libwmf
