It's because of the beard, I think.

Due to +the rate of gaim development, CVS undergoes frequent bursts of massive +changes, often leaving behind brokenness and partial functionality +while the responsible developers rewrite some portion of code or seek +to add new features. + +What this all boils down to is that CVS _WILL_ sometimes be broken. +Because of this, we ask that users who are not interested in +personally tracking down bugs and fixing them (without a lot of +assistance from the developers!) avoid CVS and use releases. Since +releases will be made often, this should not prevent anyone from using +the newest, shiniest features -- but it will prevent users from having +to deal with ugly development bugs that we already know about but +haven't gotten around to fixing. + +I you are interested in hacking on gaim, please read README and +HACKING, and take note of the issues in PROGRAMMING_NOTES. (Note that +they may be somewhat out of date at times.) Win32 developers, please +read README.mingw. + +By far the best documentation, however, is the documented code. Not +all parts of gaim have yet been documented, but the major subsystems +are falling fast. If you have doxygen, you can use the Doxyfile in +the toplevel directory to generate pretty documentation. Otherwise +(or even if you do!), the header files for each subsystem contain +documentation for the functions they contain. For instance, +conversation.h contains documentation for the entire +gaim_conversation_* API, and account.h contains documentation for the +gaim_account_* API. + +If you have questions, please feel free to contact the gaim developers +by email at gaim-devel@lists.sourceforge.net, on IRC at +irc.freenode.net in #gaim, or via the sourceforge forums at +http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim. Please do as much homework +as you can before contacting us; the more you know about your +question, the faster and more effectively we can help you! + +Send patches to gaim-devel@lists.sourceforge.net or post them in the +Sourceforge forums at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim.
