Indeed... but I am making the case that this should be the default,
i.e., it really makes more sense to automatically install both.
Otherwise, if you don't, then you will continue to have confused users
wondering where their TSVN is... and if they do it manually, then you
get all the wonderfulness of potentially mismatched TSVN versions on the
user's system (nooooooo!). ;)
Apparently these (or other thoughts) were enough to persuade the TCVS
team. For that matter, I install both in my own products that bundle
Shell extensions.
