I wouldn't consider serf as fully supported until all the aborts on http
errors and broken network connections are removed. This behavior makes
subversion and third party applications that embed the subversion libraries
vulnerable to all kinds of DOS attacks.
The SVN_ERR_MALFUNCTION code hides this behavior a little bit (and makes it
finally possible to avoid losing code from IDEs where we trigger an abort),
but aborting on invalid or unexpected network data (http error 500?) is not
something I would like to call supported.
