Well, I think it is easier to make changes in one cvs directory only. And 
also there is always a greater risk/temptation of code duplication with 2 
different directories.

For example, as you probably know, when the KDevelop project started, the 
code from KWrite was copied into KDevelop and then the code forked. And 
eventually, to get things right, we had to merge both branches into 
KWrite/Kate and then replace the KWrite code in KDevelop with the Kate part.

For CVS code, for example, there is Cervisia in kdesdk but there is also some
CVS code in KDevelop. Perhaps it would be easier to have all the CVS code at 
the same place (in some KParts if possible). 

I am not sure but I think right now KDevelop or perhaps Gideon depends on 
kdesdk being installed, so it would not mean a bigger download for KDevelop 
or Gideon users to have everything in one place.

Sometimes ago there was a KDK (KDevelop Development Kit) that was very 
popular because people had everything in one download/install.

Bye,
Christian.
