What a command fails to offer to a set of users who don't use that
command anyway is not really a big deal. I mean, do I care that tar
doesn't have bzip2 support? Not really, because I rarely use bzip2.

As for being limited to copying to local filesystems -- the same
limitation exists for hot-backup.py, and the only reason we would
write 'svnadmin copy' is to replace hot-backup.py. If you don't use
hot-backup.py as part of your backup strategy, this relocated
functionality (from a script to a core binary) won't affect you at all.
