Oh, messing up the build is a trivial thing?

As the Midgard extension recently showed, a single line in an
extension can break everything else. And it can easily go
unnoticed, especially if it is not reviewed by experienced
people.
All new modules can gain wide exposure by distributing them
separately. They don't need to be in our tree, and
they especially don't need to be added during the release
process. It is not worth the risk.
So few people have asked for the FastCGI module during the
last two years that I doubt that it was necessary to push it
into 4.0.5.

The CVS rules are fine as they are.
