And without any reasons, because:
If you look at CVS's book then you can find there:

 Renaming Files And Directories

 Renaming a file is equivalent to creating it under the new name and removing it under the old. In Unix, the commands are: 

 floss$ cp oldname newname
 floss$ rm oldname

 Here's the equivalent in CVS: 

 floss$ mv oldname newname
 floss$ cvs remove oldname
  (output omitted)
 floss$ cvs add newname
  (output omitted)
 floss$ cvs ci -m "renamed oldname to newname" oldname newname
  (output omitted)
 floss$

 For files, that's all there is to it. Renaming directories is not done very differently: 
 ...

So indeed it is documented way of renaming CVS stuff.
And it's other question that this operation doesn't preserve changelog.
