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.
