You can find most recent decision on ra_serf/serf problem in
discussion notes of Subversion developers meeting in Berlin:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/subversion/trunk/notes/meetings/berlin-11-agenda?view=markup&pathrev=1124306
[[[
> * ra_serf issues
        
We discussed the general merits of ra_serf (for users, admins, devs,
etc.). General consensus seems to be that serf is good enough to
remain the default, but if we get to the 1.7 branch point and we don't
have ra_serf in a release-ready state (that is, no blocking issues),
we will revert to ra_neon as the default (on the branch only).
ra_neon performance has vastly improved recently, and Ivan has still
more plans for improvement there. But ultimately we know that Serf is
the path forward, so the sooner we can get the world on it, the more
quickly we can work out the edge cases.

As one of ra_serf/serf developer I think that there is really small
chance to fix all known ra_serf issues before 1.7.x branch and most
likely Subversion 1.7 will be released with ra_neon as default http
library.
