With the greatest of respect, of *course* you don't see why people shouldn't
compile their own source - you're C programmers!
This is rather like listening to a discussion by marathon runners saying they
can't understand why everyone doesn't run to work.
For my own part, there are some programs I am comfortable compiling and some I
most certainly am not. It so happens that CVS falls in the former category
(now), but I can certainly sympathise with people who put it in the latter.
At the end of the day, people choose to install binaries for one reason:
because if the program fails to work, then you know it's nothing you have done.
