Agreed on all counts.

For what it is worth, my response was really geared with the mindset of
having a cluster of machines to administer, where having the extra
(sometimes unnecessary) dependencies of svn are not ideal and/or can
conflict with other software.

As mentioned in today's earlier announcement for 9.1-RC2, however, CVS
backporting from SVN will continue to be done for the stable/9 branch.

Hopefully that buys some time for svnup to become reality.
