Newsflash: they already are, just not in the main releases trees. Look 
in http://buildlogs.centos.org/rolling/7/isos/x86_64/

I previously used the 20150228 CentOS 7 rolling Everything ISO to do a 
reinstall; worked great.  Nice to not have to grab hundreds of MB of 
updates right out of the box.  This was on the CentOS-Announce list, 
incidentally.

Hmm, maybe the name of the directory it is in and the link in the 
release notes?  I also notice that the rolling point in time images have 
the full four digit year as well as month and day, whereas the 
'functionally equivalent to a particular Red Hat update release' image 
has a two digit year, the month, but no day.
