Me I don't understand why because "svn" is good we will use it for all 
packages ? is it a evolution to increase size into svn server without use the 
feature of svn ?
For me I think that there is just 50-100 packages where it's usefull.
For other package you will just use it for storing.
Ok it's very important to store into svn server all kde-i18n-* version :)

For kernel and other package where we have specific patch it's usefull, if 
it's just for say "Ok svn is the evolution, use it !!!" for me it's not a 
good idea.
