Nobody ever claimed NCO was a complete opening encyclopedia. It's a one-volume
reference. ECO (2nd Edition) just gives these lines a footnote anyway. It's not
an especially good setup. By playing it you've permanently weakened d4 and
you're practically begging Black to play ...Nc6.

Comparatively speaking, I still like the extra tempo gain of 1.e4 e5 2.c5 better
;-) (just kidding)
