Not really.  Both rebuild RHEL releases.  Scientific Linux adds a few 
things and changes a few things.   We also make Scientific Linux Fermi 
which takes Scientific Linux and adds a few things and changes a few 
things.  There is nothing to say that a base rebuild could be with less 
changes and thus more Centos like,  then use that base for Scientific 
Linux and Scientific Linux Fermi.  This was our design model if we joined 
Centos.
