Well, yes. And you nor the Subversion team should have to to code to
such old standards simply to support out of date operating systems.
The problem is that when someone pops up and says "I must have this
current version on RHEL 4 because its use is mandated", or as happened
to me a ways back "on SCO OpenServer 5", "Debian Etch", or other out
of date operating systems, The idea that you can "just compile from
the source tarball" is not borne out by my experience nor, in the case
of RHEL 4, by actually testing it.

Interestingly, I've just run some casual tests with the "serf" library
and subversion-1.6.17, which gets us away from the neon
incompatibilities. It's promisijng: do people really see that much
performance benefit in the clients with serf instad of neon? And have
people tested with the 1.0.0 release of serf?
