CERN itself may not be small, but academic budgets are always notoriously threatened. All it takes is for the project to be squeezed out of the budget one year and things are in trouble.

People are paid to work on Scientific Linux: this explains the extremely good schedule, and the support when it comes to pushing errata, as developers are not allowed to take vacation on the same time; CentOS has, at best, an opaque organizational structure, and some months ago they suffered some organizational difficulties as the owner of the CentOS web domain was out of reach.
It's possible that there are better ways to build a rebuild of RHEL, and that this two projects could somehow merge and reduce the overlap they have; but you can't say that, comparing to CentOS, SL has some kind of budget problem, it's exactly the opposite.
