Because we all are damn busy and damn lazy: combine the two and you get
the point.
Want people to see your stuff?
Do this:
1) move it on the HEAD
2) write samples
3) patch the build.xml to place those samples in the 'cocoon.war'
and voila', patches will flow right there.

Hmmm, the big source changes in HEAD have already impacted almost
anything on my side. It didn't make any difference if this was on the
scratchpad or not.
Besides, working inside the HEAD is better because is forces more
discipline on contract composition, but also allows things to get
separated and decoupled easily.
Consider: schecoon. As long as it lives in the scratchpad, it's
basically useless. It's a proof-of-concept.
Move it there and people will start adding things and glue it with other
parts of the system. Sure, more contracts to follow, but more functions
to use and more patches in, more people to help and so on.
Remember, it's all about dynamics and this is why we change the entire
tree in making it alpha: to allow more people to help without the fear
of breaking things.
We still have 2.0.x for those who need solidity.
