Quoting "Frando (Franz Heinzmann)" <frando@xcite-online.de>:
The bad stuff is people using it as a place to store modules and themes, this has always been a bad idea as you loose out the option of using issues tracker, versions, and they are rarely included in searches for any new wide spread security vulnerabilities.
Of course you should publish working code as a module or a theme. But what about pre-alpha, not-yet-working code, experimental stuff, mere ideas that you want to share?
The use of CVS branches comes to mind. A cvs branch is created to place code for development of new features for already released modules. You then merge the HEAD and release changes using cvs functionality to do so and then commit your changes as appropriate and then clean up the branch.
