From the source code comments (inherited from the original 1.10.8 code):
/* Note that as the code stands now, the -k option overrides any
settings in wrappers (whether CVSROOT/cvswrappers, -W, or
whatever). Some have suggested this should be the other way
around. As far as I know the documentation doesn't say one way
or the other. Before making a change of this sort, should think
about what is best, document it (in cvs.texinfo and NEWS), &c. */
The cvs documentation also states that it applies to all new files.
Changing this would break backward compatibility and be extremely
non-obvious.
