Thank you Bernhard for the answer , very nice summary !
I will just add a little:

Default set of packages for SLC installation differs from base SL or RH / CentOS:
One of our users requirement is to be able to easily install a
system which provides same package sets and configuration as our
centrally managed interactive computing clusters.
[ this set changes in between major releases and sometimes also
in between minor ones ]

I'm sure this is still the case: installation process detects if
a given system is on a CERN network (during firstboot launch) and
then performs (or not) CERN specific configuration adjustements
( AFS / Kerberos / time servers / sendmail / ... etc ...)

I couldn;t agree more: as it was already mentioned CERN provides
SLC support to CERN users (well, of course if resources and time
permits we also respond to outside users, but with lower priority)
[ I guess this is similar in case of FNAL and the SLF used
there or DESY and SLD variants .. ]
