cvs is a means of sharing software.  By using 'cvs update' you always have the
latest version of the code.  So in projects were development goes fast and
furious, you can be sure to have the absolute latest code.

Packages we compile may be a little out of date (compared to cvs) but they do
work and you do not have to ask "do have the right version of library a so I
can compile program one".

It boils down to how much free time do you have.
