I could see that if you have a slow link between two sites, but
otherwise why not use a single repository and eliminate the middleman?
"cvs export" works fine for releases.

Hmmm, you *might* be able to tune access more finely with a second
repository, but the argument isn't very convincing to me. Any
specifics?
I don't think it can hurt much, when in doubt the development
repository is authoritative, but I don't see how it helps.
