True, but if somebody lands in
http://archive.apache.org/dist/subversion/, they will see all the
tarballs, and might naturally look for a README. Having found it,
they would read the following text and be completely befuddled ("are
you telling me I can't download a release from here? It's the
archive!")
Anyway, it's really just a bikeshed, but those were my initial
impressions of what users may encounter.
