No, I understand that issue ...

Why are application binaries the exception ? I mean, I agree they should 
not be in cvs, but why draw the line there ? Tarballs, for example, are 
not in CVS either.

They're not random bits, they're the "docs".  They currently take up 12 MB 
of the 36 MB, for no reason at all.  The docs are generated, so there's no 
point in putting them in CVS.

CVS is used for maintaining "source", whatever they are source to.
Ie, we keep 
- code bits
- build system files
- self-written parts of the website

We don't keep in CVS
- tarballs (because they're generated from source)
- built source files (because they're generated from source)
- binaries (...)
- docs (...)

and so on.  That is pretty much the basic rule for cvs.
So unless there is a good reason to keep the docs in CVS, I wouldn't keep 
them. There's just no reason to do so.
