Other people have answered, but I'd like to add: It makes it much faster to fix bugs and improve features in the projects outside of the source tree. If replication has a bug, you don't want to wait for the next point release, you want a fix *now*. PostgreSQL is a big project, and can't make new point releases every time a bug appears in a small subsystem. To make an analogy, imagine if you had to wait for a new release of your operating system to fix a bug in an SSL library?
