Is there a reason for duplicating work and wasting precious time? 

Frameworks ease how much you have to code. Depending on what the framework
provides from authentication, session handling, to database accessing.
Using a framework for a CMS would definitately make it easier to create.
Without a framework you are asking for trouble later in the end.

In fact, I would prefer to see public ones :)

I may end up to do a CMS for my site and in this case I would release it 
publically.

I think I wouldn't use big frameworks either.

Some features I need would be :
- XML based structures content
- Good metadata system
- Roles and rights (abouts users and files)
- i18n
- workflows
- versionning
- groupware
