I guess it comes down to diminishing returns. PAE has been around for
a few years and it may not be worth the effort for that prominent
vendor to provide support for 5 year old, non-server systems that may
be just fractions of their market.

However, it's *just* a kernel... Kernels are relatively easy to build
and don't necessarily affect much in the user space. You may be able
to take the CentOS image, once it's ready, then rebuild with a non-PAE
kernel.
