Last I heard is that the svn repository is not intended to hang around 
indefinitely (i.e. why have two different repos?). I do agree that svn is 
probably a much better place for large binary files than git due to the nature 
of git.

However I have heard nothing concrete as to when or how it is intended to 
terminate usage of the svn repository so don't take too much away from this, 
other than we as a community might need to look at how we're going to handle 
large binaries if not in svn.
