The way this was working was that if you did an excludes in a kickstart file (such as -generic-*) the excluded packages were not available to satisfy dependencies. However this is a relatively recent change and maybe something undid it. In the past packages that absolutely were not to be available to satisfy dependencies were excluded on the repo commands.
I went back and looked at the ks files from f19 and it looks like we did carry forward the excludes for the install ks files and the live ks files didn't use them. The reason that the install ks files had the excludes and the live images didn't is that the install images were built with pungi which would bring in all packages that satisfied a dependency, whereas livecd-creator would only bring in what was necessary. So as long as the right packages were getting picked, the excludes weren't needed for composing live images. It is also possible that the repo commands were being overridden and some packages excluded in the overrides. It might just be with the next fedora-release-product packages being added, that the generic-release versions are getting preferred now, when they weren't previously.
