Because at that point you not only bloat the master CVS repo
(these things are 5M, and there are two of them, and this is
happening hourly?), but you also force everyone who tracks
the ports tree by (e.g.) cvsup to download each and every
one of the diffs every time it changes (that's how CVS works
internally).
