Improving Cyrus helps all consumers of Cyrus, meaning that you'd get
ldap with all applications you can build Cyrus with, instead of only
svnserve. I don't see how that could be a bad thing. I too am -1 on
having ldap specific code in svnserve: it's our simple server
implementation like CVS pserver, meaning we're not out to duplicate
Apache. This means we try to off-load all possible tasks which other
libraries can handle for us.
If otoh, our code needs to be simpler to build with Cyrus SASL or
sample installations and installation documentation should be
improved, I'm all for including that.

Erik.
