I always thought that the CentOS project did itself a disservice by
not encouraging and staying associated with the more usable respins.
 Another good one that worked up through CentOS5 was K12LTSP which was
a fairly stock CentOS install that would come up PXE-booting thin
clients - and it added a working java (back when that wasn't easy),
flash, and a set of education-related programs.  I hope the future SIG
concept brings more of that kind of appliance-like setup
pre-configured to do certain jobs without additional fiddling.
