it's more for newbies for semi-binary updates.
also,
if u keep a cvs tree of each,u compile to objects and link to a binary
anyway
(if u remove the objects u have to recompile everything. each update.)
so the size issue doesn't matter if u already keep sources+objects+binary.
now let's say u're interested in 20 open source projects,
or make it a 100, it would be alot of work to keep all these up to date,
when instead u can have a gui app that will do all that for you.
mostly.
anyway, i think it's a nice idea, please re-read it, and tell me if you
see the benefits.

Why would this be needed when we have and use cvs?
