If you install the sources from CD you don't have the cvsup metadata to tell cvsup how to upgrade them. Hence the instructions in the cvsup FAQ to first "adopt" the release sources to construct the metadata, and then update them to your target release. If you don't do this you can end up with stale files in your source tree that aren't removed. In rare instances these might cause build problems.
