That change affects Oracle because they update and modify the kernel. 
Since it's not pristine + patches like other SRPMs, Oracle has a moving 
target and may need to manually fix each of the patches that they apply.

CentOS simply rebuilds the package, and I'm reasonably certain that I 
recall statements from the CentOS maintainers that Red Hat's changes 
don't affect their process.  I don't think your argument holds water.
