It defeats the *entire* purpose of what is going on in general. However, I fully agree with known good cvs-snapshots being used for packages in the portage tree, but live cvs ebuilds prevent any sort of QA in general being done on Gentoo's end. And if you are really wanting to use cvs, its assumed that you will be updating and recompiling fairly often, and a live-pull cvs ebuild doesnt really help you. In general, baring notable exceptions (gaim-cvs, private live-cvs pull ebuilds) I dont think live-cvs ebuilds are a good idea at all, and surely not a sound reason to add a category just for their use.
