User interface is largely hidden by tools and this will probably
require all user interfaces to be updated.
Usability of a cvs->svn change is probably similar to usability of a
cvs->git change, but without the possibility of git-cvsserver's
emulation. I'm not sure how download sizes compare.

I didn't find any of those installed on debian.org machines, nor svk,
so is that only true if "their own choice" includes installing Subversion?
How does one request additional packages on project machines?
I didn't find that in devref. I'll try using rt.d.o. Ticket #572
