I think the fact that would benefit only the Python side of things is
non-negligible downside. I also am not impressed with claims that
Python bindings that behave more Pythonic is actually in and of itself
a good thing. I rather prefer the system we have today, where the
'libsvn' module exposes our public APIs in a form familiar to
programmers of those APIs as used in C or C++. And then we have the
'svn' module, which (when I get some free time) will not merely wrap
libsvn, but will do so by creating more Pythonic objects (classes,
etc.)
