The Core SIG produces the same CentOS everyone knows and loves.

The other sigs allow groups of like-minded community members to take
CentOS, and modify it in an officially recognized manner to suit their
needs. It also allows projects a method to distribute their applications
using CentOS as the platform.


Examples: adding xen support, distributing cloud-init enabled images, or
building in glusterfs support.

These are community driven efforts, and you don't have to use them if
you don't want to.
