It's probably more a case of people not realising that you can use cvs(1) to
access the repo without having to actually follow -current or even do any
special setup beyond extract src.tar.gz and sys.tar.gz, set CVSROOT and verify
the server's ssh key.

You can even use 'cvs diff' locally if /usr/src/ is mounted read-only, and
essentially get the same functionality as cvsweb in a text-mode web browser.

But cvsweb is likely the more familiar interface for casual users.
