First of all I must say I assume that the Minimal CD of CentOS provides the GNOME Desktop like Debian #1 CD, based on this assumption, adding more stuff is not always necessary. Don't think only to me, imagine there is many old and network-less systems in one place which needs to a graphical environment like GNOME for file system browsing, image viewing, trying GNOME, etc. The Net install option is not efficient for this purpose and Live DVD has several problems:
1. It is huge for people of developing and un-developed countries.
*** DVD /USB images are available and need no internet / networking beyond LAN / NFS ( assuming local mirrors)
2. It need to a DVD disc and DVD ROM for install via Optical Disc Drive (ODD).
*** DVD images can and are recommended even these days to be burned to usb via Fedora Media Creator, live-iso-to-disk, or simple dd
3. It is a traffic wasting option, because all the software inside it is not necessarily used, like Libre Office, firefox, etc.
*** Using a kickstart can / does alleviate MOST of this issue -- Guides are on the wiki for this, Secondly ( assuming root pass or sudo use is available copy /root/anaconda-ks.cfg to somewhere in your /home/<username> space and remove what is not needed ( That file is the kickstart that created your presently working/installed system ( in the event you'd rather not create it from scratch)
4. If Fedora can not installed on a system due to various reasons, The DVD option is like above case, wasting network traffic.
*** Again, assuming you have media from an event OR the freemedia sub project that is no longer an issue.
I think I provided reasonable grounds why the Fedora project should provide Minimal CD. Thank you
