Yes, I would consider that a good thing.

There are many more links in emails, in log messages, etc.

IIRC Infra said there's some software-related reason that holds them back
from importing the old material.

Thank you for reaching out.

It would be ideal if 3 things happen:

* keep svn.haxx.se alive to prevent breaking the myriad links that exist
out there

* getting the early years' SVN dev & users archives (2000-2009) onto ASF
hardware one way or another; if it can't/won't be backfilled to
lists.apache.org for whatever reasons, maybe it can be put on Subversion's
website

* updating the 63+87 links in the site and source to point to links hosted
on ASF hardware

svn.haxx.se also has archives for TSVN and Subclipse dev and users, which
is another reason to keep that site alive if possible.
