There isn't really a CVS dependency.

The problem is this: we're dealing with source code. If we want to be 
able to use other tools that deal with text (including CVS, but also 
grep, diff, editors, etc.), we need to be compatible with those 
tools' expectations for the format of text lines.

In my opinion, the pain of requiring special tools to deal with source 
code exceeds the gain of ignoring line endings.
