I'd say the main reason the dev guide is in a separate repo is the historical 
one (i.e. Brett was working on it as a separate repo prior to the hg migration 
and we never merged it).

However, the version independent nature of the material is the main argument 
against merging it into the Docs tree - it's a document about the development 
community around CPython, not a document about CPython itself.

Personally, I'm happy with the resolution in the python-dev thread - tagging 
the test.support docs to keep them out of indices and search results, while 
leaving the dev guide in a separate version independent repo.
