Binary packages, especially the ones for Windows and all the ones not
offered by companies, are done by *volunteers*. Their schedules may
not allow for it, or they may not have access to the required systems
to do it.

If you're looking for a company to do it, they need to see a financial
incentive for it. CollabNet sells support for Subversion and they
haven't (apparently) seen enough reason to justify the cost yet.
