Because there were more style violations i've caught (and even more
Bruce reported to me :).

Because CVS is there to track metadata.  I.e., if your patch is
accepted, you'll be given credit in the ``Submitted by'' line of the
commit message (which will remain in the CVS track record, so anybody
can verify this later).

Think about how the sources e.g. in the VM area would be spicked with
`D.G.' and `J.D.' if we'd all leave our initials there.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
