Because we'd then need to keep track of usernames and passwords to check out from these repositories, make sure that we generate docs from the right branch, support Subversion and CVS, etc etc. It's not that there are not enough resources for doing this (even if Helgi thinks so), but it's more a logistical problem, and in my book we don't get enough in return by shouldering this. - Martin
