The docs people are probably also happy if things is all stored in the
same repository, as well as the usability people, the a11y people and
everyone else that more or less often needs to have a look at the
different modules in the core desktop.

There are also a slew of other benefits in my peronal opinion; there's
certainly an important convenience to any hacker of only having to check
out another module and not go hunting the web for yet another needed
anonymous cvs access information, and thus an important help for
contribution. I can also imagine that having everything in the same
repository helps the release team and build sheriffs (do the current
build sheriffs have access to gstreamer cvs?) and the tinderbox.
