The primary reason is force of habit. I use ssh (CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh)
to obtain OpenBSD sources and I used to use the same method to access
a corporate CVS repository via the internet (sources needed to be
encrypted in transit between the home office and branches).

The second reason is that I would prefer that no one snoop on my
network related activities.
