This is the security policy for subversions.  

I strongly object to any weakening of the security on subversions, and
if Len or RMS or others really think it needs to be weaker, then
savannah should be run *somewhere else*. 

There was a deal when subversions was set up--that a particular group
of people would have sole authority over security policy on the
machine.  Several hackers, myself included, agreed to use subversions
as a source repository under those conditions.

I strongly reject any suggestions by people not part of that decision
about security policy that we should weaken it.
