My understanding is that some sites[1] use it for the reverse situation
as well - for whatever reason they don't use cvsup to sync their
CVS repository and keep it "up to date" by just mirroring it from the
FreeBSD FTP tree.
[1] In this context site might not be a full-blown mirror site providing
stuff to other people, it could be a developer keeping his/her source
repository up to date this way via a local FTP mirror site. You would
be amazed at what some of the developers ("real" developers active in
the project, "non-project" developers who take FreeBSD as a base and
build something else from it, and "wanna be" developers who work on their
own to fix stuff and send PR's) do...
