In an ideal world (dream) you have only FreeBSD systems, where the OS and
ports like subversion and others are prod. ready even in 0/1 releases.
However for many of us this ideal world does not exist.

E.g have software in production that is using svnkit (even more worse an
older version of svnkit) that is not compatible with 1.7/1.8 SVN backends
(was there, had to rollback some systems).
