Yes, there are a few reasons (excuses?) -
1. I don't want to force people to download the same files over and over
with each minor update to the development versions.
2. John is currently being developed as a part of Owl. This means that
all of its latest source code lives in the Owl CVS repository. I do not
want binary files to be stored there. And it is convenient for me to
distribute the exact same tarballs that are formed during Owl builds.
But I might re-consider this...

There are no compatibility issues between *.chr files for John 1.6 and
current 1.6.x development versions.
In John 1.6.37 and 1.6.38, the README says:
"There're no charset files included with development versions of John.
You're supposed to take them from John 1.6 distribution."
1.6.39+ and 1.7 are going to have this in the FAQ instead of the notice
in the README:
Q: I am getting the error "fopen: ./all.chr: No such file or directory".
Q: Where are the charset files?
A: Development versions of John the Ripper might not include the charset
files. You're supposed to take them out of the latest official release.
