Because you won't be able to change the file until the sticky tag is removed. A sticky tag means you have the file checked out on a particular tag. When you want to make changes they have to be on the HEAD or a branch.

When I'm reading articles/guides about CVS I notice that "removing sticky tags" is often talked about. I don't understand why you want to remove a sticky tag. If (for example) you have files in a repository and they're ready/checked/validated for release 1, then you tag them all with rel-1-0. Why, in a further stadium, would I want to remove this tag? Or perhaps I am confused about Tags and Sticky Tags.
